I do sometimes, but it's for exception handling, and in Python
one uses try/raise/except.  The example above isn't the best
way to show this, but perhaps something like the code below

while loopCondition:
    try:
        if condition 1:
           raise MyException    
        if condition 2:
           raise MyException
        if condition 3:
           raise MyException
        stmt1;
        stmt2;
        stmt3;
    except: MyException
        pass
    stmt4;
    stmt5;
