If it didn't work you're class is probably not a subclass from NSObject, I'd advise against doing that. It is possible to access methods in pure-python classes from Objective-C, but that code is not as well tested as accessing methods in subclasses from NSObject.

That depends on your point of view :-). The C type 'SEL' and the result of @selector is indeed an interned char*, I'd say a selector is the same as an instance method.
