[Python-Dev] switch statement (original) (raw)

There have been several promising posts to python-ideas about the much more powerful idea of a "match" statement

I actually even started working on a PEP about this (pattern matching), but then decided to postpone it because it is unlikely that anything of this size can be discussed/accepted in current situation. We can return back to the idea when decision-making model will clarify.

There's already a rejected PEP about a switch statement: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3103/. There's no point bringing this up again unless you have a new use case.
