I am trying to check each index in an 8 digit binary string. If it is '0' then it is 'OFF' otherwise it is 'ON'.

Is there a more concise way to write this code with a switch-like feature?

    No, it doesn’t. When it comes to the language itself, one of the core Python principles is to only have one way to do something. The switch is redundant to:

    if x == 1:
    pass
elif x == 5:
    pass
elif x == 10:
    pass

    (without the fall-through, of course).

    The switch was originally introduced as a compiler optimization for C. Modern compilers no longer need these hints to optimize this sort of logic statement.
