Hehe I am like this too, can't sleep as long as there is an interesting
problem going one :-)

Aah, I just finished doing a simple "proof of concept" library to show
how it could work (server side). I am quite happy with it because it
allows generators OR callbacks syntax (in fact the library just provides
a wrapper to a callback mechanism), so it is very easy to use with the
gobject callback functions.

Beside, the code is very small ( but quite tricky ! )

Here is the code :

You can copy it and run it, have a look at the '__main__' function to
see usage example.

Let me know what you think, I would be interested to see how your idea
works. I can feel that there are several ways of implementing this kind
of things.
