First part is easy:
import string
pairs = string.split(s, ',')
for pair in pairs:
  tokens = string.split(pair, '=')
  if len(tokens) == 2:
    key = string.strip(tokens[0])
    val = string.strip(tokens[1])
    # see below
  else:
    # not sure what you want to do here

If I take you literally, then I would say:
    Object.key = val

but I suspect you want a line at the top:
o = Object()
and then
    o.key = val
