matchcaselib 0.0.1b0

Easy implementation of Python 3.10's structural pattern matching.

Match-Case Library

a.k.a. matchcaselib

---

Welcome to matchcaselib, an easy implementation of Python 3.10's new feature of structural pattern matching.

This project is currently in a BETA STAGE.

Installation

You can install this package by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install matchcaselib

or update it with the command

pip install --upgrade matchcaselib

---

Usage

from matchcaselib import match

a = input("Enter in a number: ")
a = int(a)
b = input("Enter in another number: ")
b = int(b)

with match(a, b) as m:
  if(m.case(1, 1)):
    print("All ones.")
  if(m.case(1, 2)):
    print("One and two.")
  if(m.case(a, 1)):
    print("The value of A can be anything!  A was {} and b was 1.".format(a))
  if(m.default):
    print("I don't know what you mean...")

What you can do:

• Compare as many sets of variables as you would like (the amount you provide with the initialization of the class must be consistent with the amount you use for the case method.)
• Make a "default" response - Run a block if default is true (no matches were found)

Work in Progress features:

• Multi-pattern matching (test for multiple patterns)
• Break function - leave the current match

What not to do:

• Use different amounts of variables for the class initialization and the use of the case method
• I don't know, there aren't many bugs right now LOL
