no, but you can
a) use elifs
if c==1:
do this
elif c==2:
do this
elif c==3:
do this
b) make a dictionary of functions (this is faster)
def case1: do this
def case2: do that
def case3: do the other
cases = {1: case2, 2: case2, 3:case3}
cases[c]()
if your functions are one expression you could use lambdas
cases = {
1: lambda: x*2
2: lambda: y**2
3: lambda: sys.stdout.write("hi\n")
}
cases[c]()
your functions and lambdas can also take parameters of course
