I don't use Python, I was just curious as to why a construct that is found, not only to be useful in 95% of other languages, but is generally considered more flexible and readable than the if-elif, was missing in Python.

So you would rather write something like:-

switch (x):
   case COW:
     moo()
     break

   case DUCK:
     quack()
     break

   default IDUNNO:
     panic()

than:-

x.makeNoise()

?
