[$] “Structural pattern matching” for Python, part 2

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/828486/rss

We left the saga of PEP 622
(“Structural Pattern Matching“) at the end of June, but the
discussion of
a Python “match” statement—superficially similar to a C
switch but with extra data-matching features—continued. At this
point, the next steps are up to the Python steering
council
, which will determine the fate of the PEP. But there is lots
of discussion to catch up on from the last two months or so.
