Multi set string inputs/outputs

[kwmcgreal]

I actually have no idea what to even call this as I am brand new to python
I am trying to create a simple program that generates a number of different string outputs depending on what inputs the user enters.
For example: if they input the month the program would output a message depending on what month they entered (i.e. if they input December or January or February output would be: Northern Hemisphere Winter; input other months = different seasons... you get the point.
I couldn't figure out what to look up to find this out. Making if then else statements seemed burdensome as opposed to using some sort of list definition or something.
Can I take a string input and convert a list of them into another set value ex: December, January, February, =winter?

Thank you
Kevin

Do you want to print all the information for each of the inputs, or just some of them?

You could have a list of random information and print one or two. Or you could characterize them like "season_info" and "average_temp" and pick what information is returned or printed.

I'd probably prefer to store everything in a separate file with some structure and read it in. For now, maybe lets just put it in JSON format.

month.json

{"January":[
   "Northern Hemisphere Winter",
   "Average high temp is 46F",
   "Named for the Roman god Janus"
   ]
}

code

import json

INFOFILE = "month.json"

f = open(INFOFILE, "r")
monthdata = json.load(f)

query = input("What's your input? ")
if monthdata.get(query):
    for info in monthdata[query]:
        print(info)
else:
    print(f"I have no information on {query}")

Output:
What's your input? January
Northern Hemisphere Winter
Average high temp is 46F
Named for the Roman god Janus

Output:
What's your input? February
I have no information on February

I don't need a list of information, just a message specific to if they enter a certain input, or different messages if they enter different inputs. I will look up what JSON is and how to do that though.
Thanks!
