(What the OP wants was also proposed a few weeks back in comp.lang.c. But that was only within nested functions, so if H is inside G, and G is inside F, then a 'returnall' from H would return directly directly from F. Apparently Lisp allows this...)

Well, not directly, but it can be simulated with the condition system (equivalent to try/except) or with throw/catch, which is similar but doesn't use exceptions.

But my point was that in Lisp you don't need to do this, because you can write a macro that expands into a return *in place*, without calling a separate function, and this eliminates the problem entirely. Since Python doesn't have macros I was looking for the next-best solution, but there doesn't seem to be one. Oh, well...

Thanks,
