like most modern programming languages, Python doesn't have
a GOTO command.  for a brief explanation of why, and what you
should use instead, check the "branching" chapter in Alan Gauld's
"Learning to Program" tutorial:

    http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/

(if you're new to programming, I suggest working through the
entire tutorial)

you can find more Python tutorials here:
