What are called "messages" in ObjC, are generally known as "instance
methods" in Python.

I would imagine in ObjC you would do something like the following:

object.send('operation', arg1, arg2, arg3,...)
send(object, 'operation', arg1, arg2, arg3,...)

In Python, that becomes:

object.operation(arg1, arg2, arg3,...)


"Messages" in ObjC are really just a metaphor, one that is shared by
Smalltalk, but not many other object-oriented languages.
