Python>=3.10

哇，Python 3.10+现在有一个match/case语法，类似于switch/case等等！

PEP 634——结构模式匹配

匹配/案例的选定特征

1-匹配值：

匹配值类似于另一种语言中的简单开关/大小写：

match something:
    case 1 | 2 | 3:
        # Match 1-3.
    case _:
        # Anything else.
        # 
        # Match will throw an error if this is omitted 
        # and it doesn't match any of the other patterns.

2-匹配结构模式：

match something:
    case str() | bytes():  
        # Match a string like object.
    case [str(), int()]:
        # Match a `str` and an `int` sequence 
        # (`list` or a `tuple` but not a `set` or an iterator). 
    case [_, _]:
        # Match a sequence of 2 variables.
        # To prevent a common mistake, sequence patterns don’t match strings.
    case {"bandwidth": 100, "latency": 300}:
        # Match this dict. Extra keys are ignored.

3-捕获变量

解析对象；将其保存为变量：

match something:
    case [name, count]
        # Match a sequence of any two objects and parse them into the two variables.
    case [x, y, *rest]:
        # Match a sequence of two or more objects, 
        # binding object #3 and on into the rest variable.
    case bytes() | str() as text:
        # Match any string like object and save it to the text variable.

捕获变量在解析数据（如JSON或HTML）时非常有用，这些数据可能以多种不同的模式之一出现。

捕获变量是一项功能。但这也意味着您只需要使用虚线常量（例如：COLOR.RED）。否则，常量将被视为捕获变量并被覆盖。

更多示例用法：

match something:
    case 0 | 1 | 2:
        # Matches 0, 1 or 2 (value).
        print("Small number")
    case [] | [_]:
        # Matches an empty or single value sequence (structure).
        # Matches lists and tuples but not sets.
        print("A short sequence")
    case str() | bytes():
        # Something of `str` or `bytes` type (data type).
        print("Something string-like")
    case _:
        # Anything not matched by the above.
        print("Something else")

Python<=3.9

我最喜欢的switch/case Python配方是：

choices = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
result = choices.get(key, 'default')

简单场景的简短和简单。

比较11行以上的C代码：

// C Language version of a simple 'switch/case'.
switch( key ) 
{
    case 'a' :
        result = 1;
        break;
    case 'b' :
        result = 2;
        break;
    default :
        result = -1;
}

您甚至可以通过使用元组来分配多个变量：

choices = {'a': (1, 2, 3), 'b': (4, 5, 6)}
(result1, result2, result3) = choices.get(key, ('default1', 'default2', 'default3'))

我要把我的两分钱放在这里。Python中没有case/switch语句的原因是因为Python遵循“只有一种正确的方法”的原则。很明显，您可以想出各种方法来重新创建switch/case功能，但实现这一点的Python方法是if/elf构造。即。，

if something:
    return "first thing"
elif somethingelse:
    return "second thing"
elif yetanotherthing:
    return "third thing"
else:
    return "default thing"

我只是觉得PEP 8应该在这里获得认可。Python的一个优点是它的简单和优雅。这在很大程度上源于PEP8中提出的原则，包括“只有一种正确的方法可以做某事。”

如果您真的只是返回一个预定的固定值，那么可以创建一个字典，其中包含所有可能的输入索引作为键，以及它们的对应值。此外，您可能真的不希望函数执行此操作，除非您以某种方式计算返回值。

哦，如果你想做一些类似开关的事情，请看这里。

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.

# simple case alternative

some_value = 5.0

# this while loop block simulates a case block

# case
while True:

    # case 1
    if some_value > 5:
        print ('Greater than five')
        break

    # case 2
    if some_value == 5:
        print ('Equal to five')
        break

    # else case 3
    print ( 'Must be less than 5')
    break

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

        print("\n".join(map(str, range(self.n))))


class Switch(object):

        based on the given job id

    def __init__(self, cases):
        self.cases = cases # dictionary: time complexity for the access operation is 1
    def resolve(self, id):

        try:
            cases[id].execute()
        except KeyError as e:
            print("Given id: {} is wrong!".format(str(id)))

    cases=dict([Case1(0, "switch").pair(), Case2(1, 5).pair()])
