I have occasionally felt the urge to try "goto" in my C code, but having written it, I have taken it out. It just doesn't make the code look more elegant or robust. Unlike "break" or "return," "goto" makes me uneasy about variable scope and lifetime. Maybe it would work in some state machine implementation. Some 30 years ago I wrote a compiler. The parser came out nicer with methodical use of "goto," but even then, I used a parsing-specific macro to wrap it. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
