Hmm... maybe modifying Gerhard's example like this would be more 
comfortable to a BASIC person:  ( ;-) )

def goto(label): pass

while 1:  # assign a label to this line
    # do stuff
    answer = raw_input('blah blah? (y/n)').upper()
    if answer == 'N':
        break
    goto('while 1')  # branch back to labelled line  ;-)


(Ooh, I'm mean today. :-)
