Getting to the call tree requires runtime analysis.  
IIRC some people tried extracting some information using sys.settrace.  

Additionally, the actual "call tree" can take multiple pathes 
because it depends on external signals (e.g. user input).  

I'd be interested in a tool that handles this, too :-)
