Replacements for switch statement in Python?

Question

I want to write a function in Python that returns different fixed values based on the value of an input index. In other languages I would use a `switch` or `case` statement, but Python does not appear to have a `switch` statement. What are the recommended Python solutions in this scenario?

See https://jaxenter.com/implement-switch-case-statement-python-138315.html :

def switch_demo(argument):

    switcher = {

        1: "January",

        2: "February",

        3: "March",

        4: "April",

        5: "May",

        6: "June",

        7: "July",

        8: "August",

        9: "September",

        10: "October",

        11: "November",

        12: "December"

    }

    print switcher.get(argument, "Invalid month")
