If you need to access an attribute whose name is computed
at run time, you want getattr() and setattr():

    value = getattr(record, label)

    setattr(record, label, value)

Using these, I suspect you'll be able to eliminate all
the stuff you've got that messes around with indexes to
access field values, making the code a lot simpler and
easier to follow.
