Python's development team has considered the possibility of adding a switch/case statement to Python, more than once I think. Various alternatives have been considered and rejected. It's all documented in PEP 3103: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3103/ Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
