switch statement.

[Red]

Hello all,

I just started with pymel and I'm still a novice in python so I am
learning as I go along.

Is it possible to create a switch statement in pymel ?
for example.

switch(var1) :
case 0:
print("You typed zero.\n");
break;

So far I am only getting errors while trying to create it.
Any idea's or suggestions ?

thanks.
