     Namespaces. Each module has its own namespace. To run the  
function "main" from the imported module "jargon_file", you have to  
call jargon_file.main().
     Feels a bit weird at the beginning, but after using them for a  
little while, you suddenly realize that namespaces are an instance of  
BestThingEver.

     By the way, it looks like your code induces an endless recursion  
in an attempt to emulate GOTO statements (been programming in a  
variant of BASIC?). That's a Bad Thing.
