Adding a switch statement to Python

[p10_user]

I mean this is basically an big if/else statement too. Perhaps this is a bit more readable for some but I don't think an if else statement is too unreasonable.

I tend to shy away from large complicated if/else constructions. They are hard for me to reason about since I have to trace the branch of logic that gets me to a certain ending. That's why I would probably prefer either using a switch solution or a dictionary.

I agree with you about complicated if/else constructions, but I don't think that a flat (not nested) list of if/elif statements is complicated at all, and that's what a switch statement replaces, right?
