[The same e.g. with switch statement: add it]
Switch is a nice-to-have thing, but definitely not essential. A PEP here
(probably already has been several) would at least be read anyway.
However, there are several idiomatic ways of accomplishing the same
thing that are often good enough and familiar to any Python programmer
out there. Since functions are first-class objects, often a dispatch
table is the best way to go here.

presentation at PyCon 2007 shows this proposal has no popular support. I
therefore reject it".

3000, PEP 3103 [2], was already rejected, so this proposal has no chance
of being accepted either."
