Sounds like goto to me, which is also almost useless in almost every case. And to me, a solution are local functions, or properly defined if elif else stmts. A local function with no params and/or returns is as good as labeled thingys. What python really need is a switch stmt ;-) (Even perl6 will have one - if one will ever have perl6...)
