Hi How to implement switch case statement.

[parasuram.nooranianand at wipro.com]

Hi 
 
  My requirement is to check a variable with a set of constant values
and call a particular function depending on the value of the variable. A
C-language  implementation might look something like :
 
switch (a) {
 
    case 1 : func1();
    case 2 : func2() ;
    default : func3();
}
 
How to do it in Python ? 
 
Ofcourse an if-elif construct can also be used to do the job, which is
indeed my last option. However i would like to know if a 'switch-case'
option is available.
 
I found some implementations involving dictionaries and lambdas but i
don't know how suitable they might be for this kind of an
implementation.
 
Any suggestions and ideas welcome
 
 
 
Thanks and regards

I know the answers to all the questions
But its just that i don't find some of them worth answering
