Maybe you can take advantage of python beeing an interpreted language and
try to analyse the code fragment your programmer gives to you. As long as
he doesn't do any really nasty stuff, you could try to analyse the parse
tree and find blocks finishing without a close call. The parser module
would make this possible. I'm not sure if its possible to get a parse tree
out of a compiled function, but somewhere the source code must be, so you
should be able to access it.

Mind you, I never worked with that stuff before - I think it could be done,
but I'm not sure if its worth the effort :)
