The problem is... I don't know how to express this as an API. Which sinks my whole though process and tables the idea.
"tables the idea" has the US meaning of close it down, not the UK meaning of open it up? :) Indeed. The US usage differs from the rest of the English-speaking world.
A better phrase would've been "shelves the idea". There's even a module in Python called "shelve", which makes it Pythonic. :-)
