I don't know if this is the cleanest way to do it in Python, but I'd
use self.__dict__ which is a dictionary of the object's data (see
below).

              self.__dict__[token[0]].append(token[1])

Note that the dictionary is (of course) case sensitive, so you might
want to use self.__dict__[string.lower(token[0])].
