What do you mean???


Goto's are simple ;-)


def goto(lable):
     lable()


def start():

     print 'starting'
     goto(lable2)

def lable1():

     print 'at lable 1'
     goto(stop)

def lable2():

     print 'at lable 2'
     goto(lable1)

def stop():
     print 'stopping'

goto(start)

 >>> starting
 >>> at lable 2
 >>> at lable 1
 >>> stopping
