Switch in python

Question

well just a bit off topic but how many people thinks python must have switch case
for true saying absence of switch case didn't bothered me but what are your opinions ?

Answer 1

In my opinion python doesnt need switch statements because it got something much better : a "Mapping table"

so instead of the old:

switch(val){
case 1: do1()
break;
case 2: do2()
break;
default: do3()
}

you can use the much better table:

x = the value you want to use
mydefault = 3
{
1 : do1,
2: do2,
3: do3,
}.get(x,mydefault)()

Answer 2

if and Elifs are so short that there is no need for switch in python like other languages

Answer 3

I don't see the need for a switch.
The switch can essentially done with if-elif-else statements (and while loop if needed)
