First check that the python you're using is indeed a framework-python 
and not a static python (then you would pull in a second copy of the 
interpreter from Python.framework, and all sorts of nasty things could 
happen).

Second try setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable, which 
will cause the dynamic loader to tell you what it is doing. You might 
also try to set DYLD_TRACE, but I never used it. See "man dyld" for 
details.
