I use a global boolean called trace:

if trace:
  do debug stuff

But to try to answer your question:

There are two gotos in standard Python.
They are spelled:

"continue" and "break"

The first jumps to the start of a loop, and the last to after the end of one.

Anything more fancy is "Verboten" - except, that, if you ask nicely,
John Machin might explain his comefrom construct.

And maybe I will understand it this time around...
