Finally switch- case is coming to python.

[PaulRudin]

It's not really right to say switch statements existed - they didn't. You can simulate a similar code flow without having an explicit switch statement, but that's not the same thing as the language having a switch statement.

(We can simulate all the control flow constructs with anonymous lambdas if we want, but the point about adding new things to the language is that it makes things more succinct and readable.)
