I've found this email, back from 10 years ago: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-September/009983.html
I guess it went unnoticed, because that proposal looks really intresting. • break labels have been refused into python • we can do it anyway using exceptions • this is a proposal for something better, resembling "the exception way" and much more powerful and python-like than break labels -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
