Jump

jump lineno

Set the next line that will be executed.

There are a number of limitations on what line can be set.

You can’t jump:

• into the body of a for loop

• into an except block from outside

• outside or inside of a code block you are stopped

Jumping to a previous line is one way to reexecuting code. Jumping to a return statement may get you back to the caller function without running more code in the current frame.

skip, next, step, continue, and finish provide other ways to progress.

eval can be used to run Python code without changing the execution line.
