作为Mark Biek答案的一个小变化，对于像这样的不常见情况，用户有一堆函数调用要延迟，而参数要打包（而且不值得构建一堆不符合逻辑的函数），而不是这样：

d = {
    "a1": lambda: a(1),
    "a2": lambda: a(2),
    "b": lambda: b("foo"),
    "c": lambda: c(),
    "z": lambda: z("bar", 25),
    }
return d[string]()

…您可以这样做：

d = {
    "a1": (a, 1),
    "a2": (a, 2),
    "b": (b, "foo"),
    "c": (c,)
    "z": (z, "bar", 25),
    }
func, *args = d[string]
return func(*args)

这当然更短，但它是否更可读是一个悬而未决的问题…

我认为从lambda转换为partial可能更容易理解（虽然不是更简单）：

d = {
    "a1": partial(a, 1),
    "a2": partial(a, 2),
    "b": partial(b, "foo"),
    "c": c,
    "z": partial(z, "bar", 25),
    }
return d[string]()

…它的优点是可以很好地处理关键字参数：

d = {
    "a1": partial(a, 1),
    "a2": partial(a, 2),
    "b": partial(b, "foo"),
    "c": c,
    "k": partial(k, key=int),
    "z": partial(z, "bar", 25),
    }
return d[string]()

我做了一个switch-case实现，它在外部不太使用if（它仍然在类中使用if）。

class SwitchCase(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self._cases = dict()

    def add_case(self,value, fn):
        self._cases[value] = fn

    def add_default_case(self,fn):
        self._cases['default']  = fn

    def switch_case(self,value):
        if value in self._cases.keys():
            return self._cases[value](value)
        else:
            return self._cases['default'](0)

这样使用：

from switch_case import SwitchCase
switcher = SwitchCase()
switcher.add_case(1, lambda x:x+1)
switcher.add_case(2, lambda x:x+3)
switcher.add_default_case(lambda _:[1,2,3,4,5])

print switcher.switch_case(1) #2
print switcher.switch_case(2) #5
print switcher.switch_case(123) #[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

除了字典方法（我很喜欢，BTW），您还可以使用if elif else来获得switch/case/default功能：

if x == 'a':
    # Do the thing
elif x == 'b':
    # Do the other thing
if x in 'bc':
    # Fall-through by not using elif, but now the default case includes case 'a'!
elif x in 'xyz':
    # Do yet another thing
else:
    # Do the default

当然，这与switch/case不同——你不可能像放弃break语句那样轻易地通过，但你可以进行更复杂的测试。它的格式比一系列嵌套的if更好，尽管在功能上更接近。

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):
    """
        Base class which specifies the interface for the "case" handler.
        The all required arbitrary arguments inside "execute" method will be
        provided through the derived class
        specific constructor

        @note in Python, all class methods are virtual
    """
    def __init__(self, id):
        self.id = id

    def pair(self):
        """
            Pairs the given id of the "case" with
            the instance on which "execute" will be called
        """
        return (self.id, self)

    def execute(self): # Base class virtual method that needs to be overridden
        pass

class Case1(Case):
    def __init__(self, id, msg):
        self.id = id
        self.msg = msg
    def execute(self): # Override the base class method
        print("<Case1> id={}, message: \"{}\"".format(str(self.id), self.msg))

class Case2(Case):
    def __init__(self, id, n):
        self.id = id
        self.n = n
    def execute(self): # Override the base class method
        print("<Case2> id={}, n={}.".format(str(self.id), str(self.n)))
        print("\n".join(map(str, range(self.n))))


class Switch(object):
    """
        The class which delegates the jobs
        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)))



if __name__ == '__main__':

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

    switch = Switch(cases)

    # id will be dynamically specified
    switch.resolve(0)
    switch.resolve(1)
    switch.resolve(2)

还有另一种选择：

def fnc_MonthSwitch(int_Month): #### Define a function take in the month variable 
    str_Return ="Not Found"     #### Set Default Value 
    if int_Month==1:       str_Return = "Jan"   
    if int_Month==2:       str_Return = "Feb"   
    if int_Month==3:       str_Return = "Mar"   
    return str_Return;          #### Return the month found  
print ("Month Test 3:  " + fnc_MonthSwitch( 3) )
print ("Month Test 14: " + fnc_MonthSwitch(14) )

运行函数的解决方案：

result = {
    'case1':     foo1, 
    'case2':     foo2,
    'case3':     foo3,
}.get(option)(parameters_optional)

其中foo1（）、foo2（）和foo3（）是函数

示例1（带参数）：

option = number['type']
result = {
    'number':     value_of_int,  # result = value_of_int(number['value'])
    'text':       value_of_text, # result = value_of_text(number['value'])
    'binary':     value_of_bin,  # result = value_of_bin(number['value'])
}.get(option)(value['value'])

示例2（无参数）：

option = number['type']
result = {
    'number':     func_for_number, # result = func_for_number()
    'text':       func_for_text,   # result = func_for_text()
    'binary':     func_for_bin,    # result = func_for_bin()
}.get(option)()

示例4（仅限值）：

option = number['type']
result = {
    'number':    lambda: 10,       # result = 10
    'text':      lambda: 'ten',    # result = 'ten'
    'binary':    lambda: 0b101111, # result = 47
}.get(option)()
