I've done something like this for the ReportLab toolkit.

Last time I checked, this was still part of the project under
the name "pycanvas". You use a pycanvas.Canvas() instance
just like you would use a canvas.Canvas() instance, but you can decide to
regenerate an equivalent Python source program to your original program
when rendering.

The docstring explains how to use it. Also
reportlab/test/test_pdfgen_pycanvas.py shows if it works or not.

NB : this is not generic code, but maybe this can help you.
