I don't really think that almost every modern computer language has a switch block because of some C paradigm. I think its because most coders find them useful, at least readable, and therefore essential.

I don't understand: you show an if/elif chain that cannot be expressed 
as a switch statement (because it uses < ), and then conclude that 
Python needs a switch statement?  That doesn't make any sense.
