title: The equivalent of a GOTO in python
body: <p>I am self teaching myself python 2.7. I  have some experience in using BATCH, which has a GOTO statement.  How do I do that in python? For example, suppose I want to jump from line 5 to line 18.</p>
  
  <p>I realize there have been previous questions regarding this topic, but I have not found them sufficiently informative or, are too high level in python for my current understanding.</p>
