Where is "switch" statement ? Do nobody needs it ?

[vlad1777d]

Hello.

I wonder that in Python there's absent "switch" statement.
And the most interesting - nobody asks about it, nobody discusses it.
Seems, it's very often used in Javascript/Coffeescript, who have such statement.
But in Python it's absent.
There were added some less often-used features in Python, like decorators, "with" statements, "as" operator.
But no "switch" .

Please, tell me what do you think about this.
Maybe I don't know something and writing each time "if somevar == 'SOMEVALUE'" is a better practice ?

Thank you.
Best regards,
Vladislav
