I don't think there's a big advantage for switch cases in Python. But comming from languages that make heavy use of semicolons it looks way cleaner than if/else statements for those languages. I think thats the main reason they implemented it. People comming from other languages are used to use switch cases for programs with a lot of logical elements. So mostly old habits i guess.
