There are umpteen recipes for switch statements so take your pick or if 
you don't like any of them write your own.  Much easier than beating 
your head against multiple brick walls, which is what raising this one 
on python-ideas is likely to be.  See 
http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0275/ and 
http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3103/
