Thanks. And do you know anything in the standard library which sounds like what I have in the question?

I'd find it difficult to quote something using nested functions, indeed I don't find nonlocal anywhere in my currently installed python libs. Perhaps you can take heart from textwrap.py which has a TextWrapper class, but also a def wrap(text) function which simply creates a TextWrapper instance, calls the .wrap() method on it and returns. So use a class, but add some convenience functions.
