Bundles are intended for dynamic loading as plugins at run-time, while dylibs are libraries that can be linked against. However, it is possible for an application to use a dylib as a plugin - even if this is not the recommended approach - since Csound does exactly that, but for some reason Python can only load bundles. Note that _csnd is built as both a dylib and a bundle on OS X, so that C++ programs can link against it, while Python scripts can "import csnd". It is not clear if doing both in the same process is safe, though.
