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]()

扩展“dict as switch”思想。如果要为交换机使用默认值：

def f(x):
    try:
        return {
            'a': 1,
            'b': 2,
        }[x]
    except KeyError:
        return 'default'

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

还可以使用列表存储案例，并通过select调用相应的函数-

cases = ['zero()', 'one()', 'two()', 'three()']

def zero():
  print "method for 0 called..."
def one():
  print "method for 1 called..."
def two():
  print "method for 2 called..."
def three():
  print "method for 3 called..."

i = int(raw_input("Enter choice between 0-3 "))

if(i<=len(cases)):
  exec(cases[i])
else:
  print "wrong choice"

也在螺丝台上进行了解释。

我从Twisted Python代码中学到了一种模式。

class SMTP:
    def lookupMethod(self, command):
        return getattr(self, 'do_' + command.upper(), None)
    def do_HELO(self, rest):
        return 'Howdy ' + rest
    def do_QUIT(self, rest):
        return 'Bye'

SMTP().lookupMethod('HELO')('foo.bar.com') # => 'Howdy foo.bar.com'
SMTP().lookupMethod('QUIT')('') # => 'Bye'

您可以在需要调度令牌和执行扩展代码段的任何时候使用它。在状态机中，您将有state_方法，并在self.state上分派。通过从基类继承并定义自己的do_方法，可以清晰地扩展此开关。通常，基类中甚至没有do_方法。

编辑：具体是如何使用的

如果是SMTP，您将收到来自网络的HELO。相关代码（来自twisted/mail/smtp.py，根据我们的情况进行了修改）如下

class SMTP:
    # ...

    def do_UNKNOWN(self, rest):
        raise NotImplementedError, 'received unknown command'

    def state_COMMAND(self, line):
        line = line.strip()
        parts = line.split(None, 1)
        if parts:
            method = self.lookupMethod(parts[0]) or self.do_UNKNOWN
            if len(parts) == 2:
                return method(parts[1])
            else:
                return method('')
        else:
            raise SyntaxError, 'bad syntax'

SMTP().state_COMMAND('   HELO   foo.bar.com  ') # => Howdy foo.bar.com

您将收到“HELO foo.bar.com”（或者您可能会收到“QUIT”或“RCPT TO:foo”）。这被标记为['HELO'，'foo.bar.com']。实际的方法查找名称取自部件[0]。

（原始方法也称为state_COMMAND，因为它使用相同的模式来实现状态机，即getattr（self，'state_'+self.mode））
