Perform the following on each input line, "line":

        matches = re.match( "(\w+:)?\s+(\w+)(\s+(\w+))?(\s+;.*)?", line )
        if matches:
                label = matches.group(1)
                opcode = matches.group(2)
                args = matches.group(4)
                comments = matches.group(5)
        else:
                print "Syntax error"

If the pattern matches then the 4 variables are set to the appropriate fields.  Else the input does not conform to the language inferred from your example.  Missing optional fields are set to None.  You would filter them out as follows:

	if args:
	        x.append( args )

However, if you included the None values then all of your lists would remain aligned per the input.

Cheers.
