If you want to translate code from one language to another, and the 
source language uses gotos, or uses control structures not available in 
the target language, then gotos would be very useful in the latter.

(gotos are frowned upon because they make program flow harder to see 
within a normal structured program. However examples of 'advanced' 
Python I've seen are such that I would rather contend with a few gotos.)
