There is a Pythonic answer - you can go the Twisted route.
(Excepting those who think Twisted isn't Pythonic. ;)

Twisted's Deferreds can't use the stack because they
implement continuations through callback methods. You
"addCallback" for the normal case and "addErrback" for the
exceptions.

It's possible to develop your entire code base this way.

It's going to be structured entirely different than what
the OP's more senior rule mandator expects, but that might
be a good thing here.
