Continuation-passing style is only GOTOs. Instead of returning to the caller, procedures pass control to the continuation, together with the values that the continuation is expecting from the procedure. I guess you can think of it as a way to disguise a GOSUB. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
