@Kuba, 'cause people always want a GOTO. Don't now why but they do... I always recommend learning Assembly in such cases. Then you have to jump a lot from address to address 😃

@Nikolay I remember my first programs in BASIC on Atari and later on PC - they all included GOTOs as there was no other way of making the code non-repetitive. But things evolved in a good direction since then. I can't imagine using such structures in nowadays languages... :D BTW, good to have you back, man. Even if for a little while... 🤝

@Semako I was referring to the very idea of GOTO in Python ;)

From what i understand, using Goto statements leads to unstructured codes, such that when you need to trace an error, you might not know which line exactly led to the error. An example is given in the stackoverflow link i provide above.

There is a very instructive answer by user764357 here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18863309/the-equivalent-of-a-goto-in-JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK Another person also pointed to the existence of a goto module in Python, but making use of it is not considered good programming : http://entrian.com/goto/

GOTO is replaced by functions and methods (for classes) in Python. These two keep your code much cleaner than GOTO could ever do. Also, with a little imagination, you can think of break and continue as a form of GOTO within conditional statements.

I think you're looking for recursion. At least if you're having a problem like I did with, I think it was Ruby. Maybe giving an example of what exactly you want the GOTO for would be helpful.
