[wxPython] Case statements in wxPython

wxPython Users
1

I couldn't find any where in the docs re case statements.

I usually program in VB and am transferring a program to python
eg Select case animal
    case "dog"
  do doggy thing here...
   case "Cat"
              etc...
  End select

Does one just have to use the If, elif commands

Precisely. Here is the relevant section from the Python tutorial
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node6.html):

"An if ... elif ... elif ... sequence is a substitute for the switch or case
statements found in other languages."

If you have worker functions do_dog(), do_cat() ... do_else() you can use:

   fx = { 'dog':do_dog, 'cat':do_cat }.get( anumal, do_else )
   fx()

or even better with methods:

    fx = getattr( self, 'do_'+animal, None )
    if callable(fx):
       fx()
