Switch and case statements are such a waste of time that, in order to understand them you have to mentally use if/elseif/else/endif statements. Furthermore, the concepts of switch and case could not even exist without the notion of if/elseif/else/endif statements. Why then, add an extra level of complication??. Go play with Java or Maybe C++. Have fun with their fancy if/elseif/else/endif statements oops, sorry, they call them switch and/or case statements. Wish you the best and please lete us know if and when you have a deep fall through a breakeless case ... You must love debugging those ... they are fun, specially a 4:30am, with an hour and a half to deploy... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
