In this case the use of a dispatch table is silly. However, more generally in Python the use of dispatch dictionaries or tables is often preferable to long chains of '''''elif'''' clauses in a condition statement. Python's support of classes and functions (including [[currying]], partial function support, and lambda expressions) as first class objects obviates the need for a "case" or "switch" statement.
