switch was added to languages to offer an alternative to enless nested if... else scenarios. in python however there is an if... elif... else construct. So possibly because elif offers a solution to this pattern, the makers didn't think it necessary to add a second construct that essentially provides the same functionality.

I do not think anyone can give you a totally accurate answer about it. The language lacks other elements that are common, and I just imagine that this is a decision on the design of language.
