Alex-bot:> the answer is: "because, in a well-designed language, there>is no situation in which ``nothing else will do as well''":-).I've just been rereading some of Knuth's "The Art of ComputerProgramming."  I don't do it very often because I get aheadache trying to understand his use of gotos, which aren'tsimply nested (directly convertable to structured loops)and which aren't error-handling-like (convertable to exceptions).So Python is not a well-designed language for directtranslation of MIX code because it doesn't have gotos.No need to followup - just wanted to complain about MIX (again :)                    Andrewdalke at acm.org
