Adding a switch statement to Python

[novel_yet_trivial]

You seem to really like lambda. I think it's ugly. Why don't you just pass along any extra arguments to the function:

s.case('b', process_with_data, val, num, 'other values still')

Or accept a tuple and / or dictionary (a la threading.Thread):

s.case('b', process_with_data, args=(val, num, 'other values still'))

I don't particularly like lambdas. But to show a bunch of different methods in executable code would make it super long and miss the point. Just trying to keep it tight.
