I tried to write the following in python,doesnt seem to work,am wondering if there is a better implementation to achieve the goal..please suggest

for line_info in lines:

    line_info.find('Location')

    if line_info.find('Location') == 0:
        # Build Location
        print "  Found Build location"
        logString += "  Found Build location\n"
        location = line_info.split(" ")
        location1 = location[len(location)-1]
    elif line_info.find('Status') == 0:
        # Status
        print "  Found Status"
        logString += "  Found Status\n"
        status = line_info.split(" ")
        removeEmpty(status)
        status1 = status[1].strip()
        if status1 != "Approved"
        goto .start
    elif line_info.find('BuildDate') == 0:
        # Main Make
        print "  Found BuildDate"
        logString += "  Found BuildDate\n"
        builddate1 = line_info.split(" ")
        removeEmpty(builddate1)
        builddate1 = builddate1[1]
        #if builddate1 >

    Try this code:

    lastLocation = None
lastTime = None
skip = False

bestLocation = None
bestTime = None

for line in text.split('\n'):    
    line.find('Location')
    if line.find('Location') == 0:
        # Build Location
        skip = False
        print "  Found Build location"
        lastLocation = line.split(":")[1].lstrip()       
    elif line.find('Status') == 0:
        # Status
        print "  Found Status"
        status = line.split(":")
        status1 = status[1].strip()
        if status1 != "Approved":
            skip = True
    elif line.find('BuildDate') == 0 and not skip:
        # Main Make
        print "  Found BuildDate"
        timeStr = line.split(":", 1)[1].lstrip()
        lastTime = datetime.datetime.strptime(timeStr, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")
        if bestTime == None or bestTime < lastTime:
            bestTime = lastTime
            bestLocation = lastLocation
print lastLocation
