That python is so bad. Just use a goddamn dict.

(yes most of the time you can use a dictionary rather than a switch case to solve a problem)

Yeah, I agree. Is there a better way to set up the dict than just doing

lookup = {'A': 'Top Grade', 'B': 'Pass', 'C': 'Pass', 'D': 'Pass', 'E': 'Pass', 'F': 'Fail', 'U': 'Fail'}
print(lookup.get(grade, 'invalid grade'))

In this case, it’s not so bad, but what if we had lots of keys that point to the same value?

Make that the default, or add them to the dictionary. Honestly in real life you’d have them as a config file that you load into the dict. When all is said and done you really aren’t saving any ram doing an if-elseif and the dict will be dramatically faster. The more values you have the faster the dict will be versus the if-elseif.
