This discussion is starting to remind me of something that's been in the Twisted sandbox for quite a while: http://cvs.twistedmatrix.com/cvs/sandbox/cake.py?rev=1.4&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

The code isn't exactly clear, but the example in the if name == 'main' block at the bottom should give you some idea of what it can do... I can't escape the feeling that this discussion is slowly reinventing cake.py.

I'm not sure I'd really like to read code that uses some of the more outlandish proposals in this thread... it looks like a good way to write convoluted code.
