"choose" in Python?

May 9th, 2008

There's a function that repeatedly shows up in languages, usually with more or less the following form (Python syntax):

 Help with Code Tags 
 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
var1 = raw_input("Input a number between one and three.")
 
choose var1:
   case "1":
      print "You inputted one."
   case "2":
      print "You inputted two."
   case "3":
      print "You inputted three."
var1 = raw_input("Input a number between one and three.")

choose var1:
   case "1":
      print "You inputted one."
   case "2":
      print "You inputted two."
   case "3":
      print "You inputted three."

Or something like that. I've also seen it called "switch." Does Python have anything like this?
