Converting a Go-To Statement from Fortran 77 to Python

I have the following FORTRAN Code which I want to rewrite in Python:

2 continue
 statement 1
 statement 2

 do 1 j=1, 10
 statement 3
 statement 4
1 continue

 if a .lt. 5 go to 2

Does anyone have an elegant way of implementing this structure in python?

You can try using something similar to the following:

while True:
  statement 1
  statement 2
  for i in range(1,11):
    statement 3
    statement 4
  if a >= 5:
    break

The transformation can be straightforward. Here I am assuming that you can change 'a' at the beginning so that the 'while' condition is satisfied initially. Something like

a = 0
while a < 5:
    statement 1
    statement 2
    # 'do 1 j=1, 10' will include 10, right? Not so in Python
    for i in range(1, 11):
        statement 3
        statement 4
