Here is another solution:

        def recongnize(self, token):
                for item in self.__class__.__dict__.keys():
                        method = self.__class__.__dict__[item]
                        if callable(method) and method != 
self.__class__.__dict__["recongnize"]:
                                result = method(self, token)
                                if result:
                                        return result
                return false
