python has no switch or case or select

 

from Replacements for switch statement in python?

def f(x):
    return {
        'a': 1,
        'b': 2,
        }.get(x, 9)    # 9 is default if x not found

or 

result = {
  'a': lambda x: x * 5,
  'b': lambda x: x + 7,
  'c': lambda x: x - 2
}[value](x)

example of using the last code receipt:  

theSwitchArray = {
  'a': lambda x: x * 5,
  'b': lambda x: x + 7,
  'c': lambda x: x - 2
}

result = theSwitchArray['b'](3)

print ( result )
