How to write switch case statement in Python
#2
There is no case statement in Python. We have good data structures.
You can use for example a dict:

def get_weekday_number(day):
    """
    The function returns the number of weekday for given day.
    Lower case and upper case are allowed.
    """
    days = {
        'Friday': 4,
        'Monday': 0,
        'Saturday': 5,
        'Sunday': 6,
        'Thursday': 3,
        'Tuesday': 1,
        'Wednesday': 2,
        }
    return days[day.title()]
