No. You can use multiple if-else. as there is no need for this.

You can use a dictionary to simulate the switch statement.


def doSomething():
    print "doSomething() called"

def doSomethingElse():
    print "doSomethingElse() called"

def doDefault():
    print "doDefault() called"


switch = {0:doSomething, 1:doSomethingElse}

switch[0]()
doSomething() called

switch.get(2, doDefault)()
doDefault() called

No. Python does not have any switch or case statement. But it provides other ways of achieving multiway branching such as if-elif statements and dictionaries. 

Example 1: (Using if-elif-else)

if x == "String 1" :

#Perform action 1

elif x == "String 2" :

#Perform action 2

else :

#Perform action default

Example 2: (Using Dictionary)

answer = {

    1: "Monday",

    2: "Tuesday",

    3: "Wednessday",

    4: "Thursday",

    5: "Friday"

    }.get(n, "Not a working day")

One to one Mapping can be done
here is my code:

Code
def mySwitch(val):


    return {


        a: apple,


        b: ball,


......


    }.get(val, 9)

There no switch case in Python.

No, Python does not support Switch statement, but we can implement Switch function and then use it. For example

def switch(input value ):
if value == some value:
take some operation
elif value == some value:
take some operation
else:
this is default option take some operation

so this way to achieve Switch statement

Actually there is no switch statement in the Python programming language but the is a similar construct that can do justice to switch that is the exception handling.using try and except1,except2,except3.... and so on

Dictionary can be used as case/switch .
