PEP 342 provides a much better alternative:
def do_stuff():
result = (yield some_operation())
something = (yield work_on_result(result))
print something
reactor.stop() # Maybe unnecessary?
reactor.run(do_stuff())
Apparantly it's already been applied to Python 2.5:

Now that may not be the exact syntax that Twisted provides, but the
point is that the layout (and the top-to-bottom execution order) is
possible.
