Why isn't there a switch or case statement in Python?

You can do this easily enough with a sequence of ``if... elif... elif... else``.

For literal values, or constants within a namespace, you can also use a

``match ... case`` statement.

In general, structured switch statements execute one block of code

Since Python 3.10 one can easily match literal values, or constants

For cases where you need to choose from a very large number of possibilities,
