[Tutor] What style do you call Python programming?

I'm looking for a term to call the kind of Python programming that
Python is, in other words, programming with no branching, no GOTOs, no
statement labels and no line numbers. I'm tempted to call it
Structured Progamming, but we had that in COBOL, and this is not like
COBOL.

It seems to be with Python the whole thing is creating functions and
then using loops, with an occasional BREAK or CONTINUE, to control
program flow. I know it's Structured, but it's not like COBOL
structured, if you know what I mean.

I hope this is clear enough.
