Goto is useful in breaking out of a nested loop and when there is a clean-up section of a function that should be executed for various error conditions. In another newsgroup I once asked "who needs GOTO" and got some good answers -- the thread can be found by Googling '[EMAIL PROTECTED] "explicit GOTO"'. Goto's are less dangerous when they are in the forward direction, to code appearing later. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
