Well, not directly, but it can be simulated with the condition system 
(equivalent to try/except) or with throw/catch, which is similar but 
doesn't use exceptions.

But my point was that in Lisp you don't need to do this, because you can 
write a macro that expands into a return *in place*, without calling a 
separate function, and this eliminates the problem entirely. Since 
Python doesn't have macros I was looking for the next-best solution, but 
there doesn't seem to be one. Oh, well...

Thanks,

Alberto
