A stylistic note: I believe that most or all of your eval/exec uses could
be done with getattr and setattr instead, which are in the language for
precisely those situations in which the name of an attribute is in a
runtime string. To my mind, this would be simpler and better style.

I believe this is valueIs = getattr(self.model, parsed.name)

> exec(methodCall)
I believe this is getattr(self.model, parsed.name)(parsed.value).
> exec("self.model." + parsed.name + "=" + parsed.value)
I believe this is setattr(self.model, parsed.name, parsed.value).
and so on.
