[New-bugs-announce] [issue40434] Update of reasoning why there is no case statement

[Ama Aje My Fren]

New submission from Ama Aje My Fren <amaajemyfren at gmail.com>:

The design and history FAQ (https://docs.python.org/dev/faq/design.html#why-isn-t-there-a-switch-or-case-statement-in-python) explains why there is no case statement referencing PEP 275(https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0275/).

For Python 3 there is, however, PEP 3103(https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3103/) which rejected the proposal for a switch statement.
