I could also do this in C, but I like Python a bunch

Get rid of that seat belt bucko. . . In this world, in street racing, it's kill or be killed.

There are two different python libraries which create a goto method.

if only i googled better

i don't know any python... but i've maintained a lot of ruby where exceptions were used as flow control. that felt remarkably similar to using gotos in ti-basic. every rescue is a label, every raise is a goto.

that sounds so awful

that can't be normal for ruby, can it? please tell me it's not :'(

oh definitely not. it was exceedingly terrible code, just one of those situations where it went largely forgotten and just had to live long enough on bugfixes for a team to finish rewriting it.
