Match statement

[stefanuytterhoeven]

first of all, I'm no expert in Python.

but, from what I've read, the match/case statement should be supported as of version 3.10 of python.

In HA, we are at 3.11 now. When retrieving the python version in pyscript it says 3.11

So, when I try to use match/case like

testvar='value'
match testvar:
     case 'value': 
          pass
      case _: 
          pass

this gives me error: NotImplementedError: ..... not implemented ast ast_match

Pyscript implements a python interpreter using async methods. I wasn't aware this language feature was added, so I'll need to add support for it.

[craigbarratt]

I reviewed PEP 636 and it looks quite difficult to implement in the pyscript interpreter. So I'm not planning to support this.

I'd recommend putting your match code in a function with the @pyscript_compile decorator. That way you'll have access to full native Python functionality inside that function.
