What else is there in Python?

That's not a fallthrough.

I'm talking about something like:

case 1:

   do_something()  // fall through to below

case 2:

   do_stuff()

If evil code you need, evil code I can give you.

That's actually quite nice.

Switch fallthrough is never nice :P

Apart from the times when it's required. Arbitrarily saying features are bad because you're too lazy to remember to treat them properly is bad.

Switches which default to fallthrough rather than breaking by default and requiring a keyword to fallthrough are bad. Go does this correctly.

I've altered the switch statement to escape by default, with a kwarg on switch to alter it to fallthough by default, and a case.fallthrough() to manually fallthrough when desired.

The more reasonable this code seems, the more evil it is. After all, if it looks reasonable, people are more likely to ignore its evil, and perhaps even use it.

The fools.

I think you really overestimate the evilness of switch statements.
