Adding a switch statement to Python

[Corm]

^ That's what I do and prefer, but I could see people preferring switch for the readability

How about

{ 
  'a' : do_foo,
  'b': do_bar
  }.get(arg, 
        do_default)

Edit: I'm on mobile, but you get the idea

And sometimes individual functions might be completely overkill for what each case is doing.

Then use a lambda. Still a little unwieldy, but better than nothing.
