Pattern Matching Tutorial for Pythonic Code
Structural pattern matching is coming in Python 3.10. This article explores how to use it to write Pythonic code by searching for some of the best use cases for the match statement. Keep in mind that match is still in alpha, so, while unlikely, some things may still change before the final version of 3.10 is released.
