[issue6367] Change the instruction pointer in python

[vinoth]

vinoth <4vinoth at gmail.com> added the comment:

I hope exceptions are not created for that purpose,and it is not the actual*
/*right way i hope. because,

if any of the called methods has the try: except: block, it fails..

and we can't guide other coders, "Don't use try: except:" as it is the
language neutral power.

But it is easy to implement.  Just do as we do in case of exception, but in
a user defined way. I hope.

Thanks
Vinoth

Actually, Python has non-local gotos already, and in a structured way:<br>
by means of exceptions. I don&#39;t understand why it is &quot;not a actual way&quot;<br>
- please do consider using a custom exception for that.<br>
