Can you recommend a nice way of checking a particular value between calls to a set of functions?

E.g. something like this in Python (might not be terribly ‘Pythonic’):

self.error_code    = 0 # this will be set by each function if an error has occurred
self.function_list = [self.foo, self.bar, self.qux, self.wobble]
...
def execute_all(self):
    while not self.error_code and self.function_list:
        func = self.function_list.pop() # get each function
        func(error_code) # call it

    if self.error_code:
        # do something

The idea is that subsequent functions won’t be called if self.error_code is set and all functions will be called in order if all is good.

Anyone can think of a better alternative to that in Python or maybe a language-agnostic approach?

I want to avoid having that code in each function call (e.g. if self.error code: return) so that I don’t end up with the same check across all functions.
