Unfortunately there is not much in the process call stack: the creation of a list (PyList_New) needs to allocate some memory (not much: sizeof(PyListObject) + gc overhead, probably 32 bytes).

If the system malloc() function fails and returns NULL, Python will raise a MemoryError.  But if malloc() blocks and freezes the process, there is not much Python can do.
