我最喜欢的是一个非常好的食谱。这是我见过的最接近实际switchcase语句的语句，尤其是在特性中。

class switch(object):
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value
        self.fall = False

    def __iter__(self):
        """Return the match method once, then stop"""
        yield self.match
        raise StopIteration
    
    def match(self, *args):
        """Indicate whether or not to enter a case suite"""
        if self.fall or not args:
            return True
        elif self.value in args: # changed for v1.5, see below
            self.fall = True
            return True
        else:
            return False

下面是一个示例：

# The following example is pretty much the exact use-case of a dictionary,
# but is included for its simplicity. Note that you can include statements
# in each suite.
v = 'ten'
for case in switch(v):
    if case('one'):
        print 1
        break
    if case('two'):
        print 2
        break
    if case('ten'):
        print 10
        break
    if case('eleven'):
        print 11
        break
    if case(): # default, could also just omit condition or 'if True'
        print "something else!"
        # No need to break here, it'll stop anyway

# break is used here to look as much like the real thing as possible, but
# elif is generally just as good and more concise.

# Empty suites are considered syntax errors, so intentional fall-throughs
# should contain 'pass'
c = 'z'
for case in switch(c):
    if case('a'): pass # only necessary if the rest of the suite is empty
    if case('b'): pass
    # ...
    if case('y'): pass
    if case('z'):
        print "c is lowercase!"
        break
    if case('A'): pass
    # ...
    if case('Z'):
        print "c is uppercase!"
        break
    if case(): # default
        print "I dunno what c was!"

# As suggested by Pierre Quentel, you can even expand upon the
# functionality of the classic 'case' statement by matching multiple
# cases in a single shot. This greatly benefits operations such as the
# uppercase/lowercase example above:
import string
c = 'A'
for case in switch(c):
    if case(*string.lowercase): # note the * for unpacking as arguments
        print "c is lowercase!"
        break
    if case(*string.uppercase):
        print "c is uppercase!"
        break
    if case('!', '?', '.'): # normal argument passing style also applies
        print "c is a sentence terminator!"
        break
    if case(): # default
        print "I dunno what c was!"

一些评论指出，使用foo作为case而不是foo中的case的上下文管理器解决方案可能更干净，对于大型switch语句，线性而不是二次行为可能是一个不错的选择。使用for循环的答案的一部分价值是有中断和突破的能力，如果我们愿意稍微使用我们选择的关键字，我们也可以在上下文管理器中实现这一点：

class Switch:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value
        self._entered = False
        self._broken = False
        self._prev = None

    def __enter__(self):
        return self

    def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
        return False # Allows a traceback to occur

    def __call__(self, *values):
        if self._broken:
            return False
        
        if not self._entered:
            if values and self.value not in values:
                return False
            self._entered, self._prev = True, values
            return True
        
        if self._prev is None:
            self._prev = values
            return True
        
        if self._prev != values:
            self._broken = True
            return False
        
        if self._prev == values:
            self._prev = None
            return False
    
    @property
    def default(self):
        return self()

下面是一个示例：

# Prints 'bar' then 'baz'.
with Switch(2) as case:
    while case(0):
        print('foo')
    while case(1, 2, 3):
        print('bar')
    while case(4, 5):
        print('baz')
        break
    while case.default:
        print('default')
        break

到目前为止，已经有很多回答说，“我们在Python中没有开关，这样做吧”。然而，我想指出，switch语句本身是一个容易被滥用的构造，在大多数情况下可以而且应该避免，因为它们促进了惰性编程。案例说明：

def ToUpper(lcChar):
    if (lcChar == 'a' or lcChar == 'A'):
        return 'A'
    elif (lcChar == 'b' or lcChar == 'B'):
        return 'B'
    ...
    elif (lcChar == 'z' or lcChar == 'Z'):
        return 'Z'
    else:
        return None        # or something

现在，您可以使用switch语句（如果Python提供了switch语句）来执行此操作，但这会浪费您的时间，因为有些方法可以很好地执行此操作。或者，你有一些不太明显的东西：

def ConvertToReason(code):
    if (code == 200):
        return 'Okay'
    elif (code == 400):
        return 'Bad Request'
    elif (code == 404):
        return 'Not Found'
    else:
        return None

然而，这种操作可以而且应该用字典来处理，因为它会更快、更复杂、更不容易出错和更紧凑。

switch语句的绝大多数“用例”将属于这两种情况之一；如果你彻底考虑了你的问题，就没有什么理由使用它。

因此，与其问“我如何在Python中切换？”，或许我们应该问“我为什么要在Python中进行切换？”因为这往往是一个更有趣的问题，而且往往会暴露出您正在构建的任何设计中的缺陷。

现在，这并不是说也不应该使用开关。状态机、词法分析器、解析器和自动机都在某种程度上使用它们，一般来说，当你从对称输入开始到非对称输出时，它们会很有用；您只需要确保不要将开关用作锤子，因为您在代码中看到了一堆钉子。

我使用的解决方案：

这里发布的两个解决方案的组合，相对容易阅读，并支持默认值。

result = {
  'a': lambda x: x * 5,
  'b': lambda x: x + 7,
  'c': lambda x: x - 2
}.get(whatToUse, lambda x: x - 22)(value)

哪里

.get('c', lambda x: x - 22)(23)

在dict中查找“lambda x:x-2”，并在x=23时使用它

.get('xxx', lambda x: x - 22)(44)

在dict中找不到它，使用默认的“lambda x:x-22”，x=44。

如果您不担心丢失案例套件中的语法高亮显示，可以执行以下操作：

exec {
    1: """
print ('one')
""", 
    2: """
print ('two')
""", 
    3: """
print ('three')
""",
}.get(value, """
print ('None')
""")

其中value是值。在C中，这将是：

switch (value) {
    case 1:
        printf("one");
        break;
    case 2:
        printf("two");
        break;
    case 3:
        printf("three");
        break;
    default:
        printf("None");
        break;
}

我们还可以创建一个helper函数来实现这一点：

def switch(value, cases, default):
    exec cases.get(value, default)

因此，我们可以将其用于一、二和三的示例：

switch(value, {
    1: """
print ('one')
    """, 
    2: """
print ('two')
    """, 
    3: """
print ('three')
    """,
}, """
print ('None')
""")

我在谷歌搜索上找不到简单的答案。但我还是想通了。这真的很简单。决定把它贴出来，也许可以防止别人的头上少刮几下。关键是简单的“in”和元组。下面是带有直通的switch语句行为，包括RANDOM直通。

l = ['Dog', 'Cat', 'Bird', 'Bigfoot',
     'Dragonfly', 'Snake', 'Bat', 'Loch Ness Monster']

for x in l:
    if x in ('Dog', 'Cat'):
        x += " has four legs"
    elif x in ('Bat', 'Bird', 'Dragonfly'):
        x += " has wings."
    elif x in ('Snake',):
        x += " has a forked tongue."
    else:
        x += " is a big mystery by default."
    print(x)

print()

for x in range(10):
    if x in (0, 1):
        x = "Values 0 and 1 caught here."
    elif x in (2,):
        x = "Value 2 caught here."
    elif x in (3, 7, 8):
        x = "Values 3, 7, 8 caught here."
    elif x in (4, 6):
        x = "Values 4 and 6 caught here"
    else:
        x = "Values 5 and 9 caught in default."
    print(x)

提供：

Dog has four legs
Cat has four legs
Bird has wings.
Bigfoot is a big mystery by default.
Dragonfly has wings.
Snake has a forked tongue.
Bat has wings.
Loch Ness Monster is a big mystery by default.

Values 0 and 1 caught here.
Values 0 and 1 caught here.
Value 2 caught here.
Values 3, 7, 8 caught here.
Values 4 and 6 caught here
Values 5 and 9 caught in default.
Values 4 and 6 caught here
Values 3, 7, 8 caught here.
Values 3, 7, 8 caught here.
Values 5 and 9 caught in default.

switch语句只是if/elif/else的语法糖。任何控制语句所做的都是基于某个条件（即决策路径）来授权作业。为了将其包装到模块中并能够基于其唯一id调用作业，可以使用继承和Python中的任何方法都是虚拟的这一事实来提供派生类特定的作业实现，作为特定的“case”处理程序：

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys

class Case(object):
    """

        The all required arbitrary arguments inside "execute" method will be

    def __init__(self, id):
        self.id = id

    def pair(self):

    def resolve(self, id):

        except KeyError as e:
