GoTo considered missing

    OK. I'm a spaghetti-coder from way back, new to Python.
I didn't even realize there was no "goto" till I tried to rewrite a big C
program in Python.

    Breaks and Continues are fine for single loops, but:
What is the approved Python method for getting from the bottom of a set of
nested loops to the top?

    Maybe I could rewrite the big loop with function calls, but I'd be
knee-deep in recursion.
