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。

虽然已经有了足够的答案，但我想指出一个更简单、更强大的解决方案：

class Switch:
    def __init__(self, switches):
        self.switches = switches
        self.between = len(switches[0]) == 3

    def __call__(self, x):
        for line in self.switches:
            if self.between:
                if line[0] <= x < line[1]:
                    return line[2]
            else:
                if line[0] == x:
                    return line[1]
        return None


if __name__ == '__main__':
    between_table = [
        (1, 4, 'between 1 and 4'),
        (4, 8, 'between 4 and 8')
    ]

    switch_between = Switch(between_table)

    print('Switch Between:')
    for i in range(0, 10):
        if switch_between(i):
            print('{} is {}'.format(i, switch_between(i)))
        else:
            print('No match for {}'.format(i))


    equals_table = [
        (1, 'One'),
        (2, 'Two'),
        (4, 'Four'),
        (5, 'Five'),
        (7, 'Seven'),
        (8, 'Eight')
    ]
    print('Switch Equals:')
    switch_equals = Switch(equals_table)
    for i in range(0, 10):
        if switch_equals(i):
            print('{} is {}'.format(i, switch_equals(i)))
        else:
            print('No match for {}'.format(i))

输出：

Switch Between:
No match for 0
1 is between 1 and 4
2 is between 1 and 4
3 is between 1 and 4
4 is between 4 and 8
5 is between 4 and 8
6 is between 4 and 8
7 is between 4 and 8
No match for 8
No match for 9

Switch Equals:
No match for 0
1 is One
2 is Two
No match for 3
4 is Four
5 is Five
No match for 6
7 is Seven
8 is Eight
No match for 9

如果你有一个复杂的大小写块，你可以考虑使用函数字典查找表。。。

如果您以前没有这样做过，那么最好进入调试器并查看字典如何查找每个函数。

注意：不要在大小写/字典查找中使用“（）”，否则将在创建字典/大小写块时调用每个函数。记住这一点，因为您只想使用哈希样式查找调用每个函数一次。

def first_case():
    print "first"

def second_case():
    print "second"

def third_case():
    print "third"

mycase = {
'first': first_case, #do not use ()
'second': second_case, #do not use ()
'third': third_case #do not use ()
}
myfunc = mycase['first']
myfunc()

当我需要一个简单的switchcase来调用一堆方法而不仅仅是打印一些文本时，下面的方法适用于我的情况。在玩了lambda和globals之后，我觉得这是迄今为止最简单的选择。也许它也会帮助某人：

def start():
    print("Start")

def stop():
    print("Stop")

def print_help():
    print("Help")

def choose_action(arg):
    return {
        "start": start,
        "stop": stop,
        "help": print_help,
    }.get(arg, print_help)

argument = sys.argv[1].strip()
choose_action(argument)()  # calling a method from the given string

扩展Greg Hewgill的答案-我们可以使用装饰器封装字典解决方案：

def case(callable):
    """switch-case decorator"""
    class case_class(object):
        def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            self.args = args
            self.kwargs = kwargs

        def do_call(self):
            return callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs)

return case_class

def switch(key, cases, default=None):
    """switch-statement"""
    ret = None
    try:
        ret = case[key].do_call()
    except KeyError:
        if default:
            ret = default.do_call()
    finally:
        return ret

然后可以将其与@case decorator一起使用

@case
def case_1(arg1):
    print 'case_1: ', arg1

@case
def case_2(arg1, arg2):
    print 'case_2'
    return arg1, arg2

@case
def default_case(arg1, arg2, arg3):
    print 'default_case: ', arg1, arg2, arg3

ret = switch(somearg, {
    1: case_1('somestring'),
    2: case_2(13, 42)
}, default_case(123, 'astring', 3.14))

print ret

好消息是，这已经在NeoPySwitch模块中完成。只需使用pip进行安装：

pip install NeoPySwitch

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。
