The 'gurl' value is an long integer value, you should indeed convert
it to 1735750252L. The Carbon modules in MacPython know about 4
character codes (such as 'gurl') and accept both integers in 4-byte
strings in APIs that use 4 character codes. PyObjC doesn't implement
this convienence conversion, basically because it doesn't know which
APIs might accept 4 character codes.
I'd do the conversion using struct.unpack: gurl_code = struct.unpack
('l', 'gurl')[0]

That's very wrong. You shouldn't call objc.selector unless you're
defining a new method (in a class definition on the argument for
objc.classAddMethods). The call to objc.selector should be in the
class definition of MacController.
I don't think this will help, if the method really has an object and
selector argument you're program would have crashed when aem tried to
call your method. A quick glance at the AppleEventManager docs tells
my that the call to objc.selector is not needed, the signature
argument is just plain wrong (you signature is for a method that
returns void and has two arguments: and object and a SEL (method name)).
One other thing: according to LaunchServicesConcepts.pdf (link below)
the even code is 'GURL' (upper-case), which is different from 'gurl'.

Could you post your code? I've tried to avoid AppleScript related
code upto know and can't even manage to bring my application to the
front :-)
