We appear to have a language barrier here.  How should one rewrite the
code?  Everyone knows python doesn't have gotos and state machines have
to be created using other mechanisms like loops, state variables, and
such.  Your suggestion to "rewrite the code" is unhelpful to the OP if
you're not willing to suggest the best method for doing so.  Saying, "be
like a decompiler" doesn't say anything.
