This is essentially the same thing (although it's also dumping the value of
the variables):

        for attr, value in vars(ctx.locals).items():
            if attr.beginswith('token'):
                syslog.syslog('%s %s' % (attr, value))

My preference would be to build a class to collect all the token
attributes in one place, somewhat like the example I posted
originally. There's many variations possible, of course.
