What mismatch? Line 345 is the last line of this routine:

def org(self, addr) :
"""sets the origin for defining subsequent consecutive memory contents."""
self.curpsect.setorigin(self.follow(addr))
self.lastaddr = self.curpsect.origin
return self # for convenient chaining of calls
#end org

I have a pentium assembler in perl on my website below.
(postit-fixup principle).
You could borrow some idea's, if you can read perl.
The main purpose is to have a very simple and straightforward
assembler at the expense of ease of use.

Why coding assembler if you can type in hexdumps...
