I suggest using split():

while 1:
    l = file.readline():
    asm, comment = l.split(';', 1)
    asm = asm.split()
    if len(asm) == 2:
        instr, param = asm
        # label = None  # unused
    else:
        label instr, params = asm
        x.append(label)
    Y.append(instr)

If this is not enough, try John Aycock's generic small languages compiler
'spark' (http://www.csr.uvic.ca/~aycock/python/).
