Is switch option available in Python?

[psbasha]

Hi,

I came across only "if-else,if-elif,nested if else " in some of the Python links,whether we have the similar to "switch" option in Python.

Thanks in advance

There's no switch, but it's eazy to build a lookup table:

def func1():
    pass

def func2():
    pass

funcList = (func1, func2)

switchIndex = 0

funcList(switchIndex)()

just for information you can see this PEP
in Python, you can simulate switch using dictionaries, like what barton says a lookup table. eg

switch = {'option1': function1,
     'option2': function2,
     'option3': function3,
     'option4': function4}
if value in switch:
     switch[value]()
else:
     pass
