No, I really mean changing the execution path. 

Have a look, how pdb does it here:

	https://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Lib/pdb.py

Search for do_jump implementation.

In that form, it can modify the line to execute next in the current frame 
only, but this is very helpful to skip or repeat some lines in a debug 
session.

Hth,
