“After much deliberation, the Python Steering Council is happy to announce that we have chosen to accept PEP 634, and its companion PEPs 635 and 636, collectively known as the Pattern Matching PEPs.”
Python spent decades saying there should be one obvious way to do it. Now it gets a match statement with its own mini-language for patterns. The council admits consensus was close to impossible and accepted it anyway. Three PEPs just to explain one feature tells you how simple it is.
