AFAICT that hinges on method_missing...
..which also AFAIK Python doesn't have.
So, no, Python is not message-oriented in that sense. However, it's trivial to simulate, since you *can* add methods and attributes on the fly to a Python class, and enumerate a class' methods/attributes/whatever.
"There's a set of rules that anything that was in the world when you were born is normal and natural. Anything invented between when you were 15 and 35 is new and revolutionary and exciting, and you'll probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things."
Douglas Adams
