In Python there is not a switch/case statement, however, this can be worked around using nested if..elif..else commands.

 var = "aa"
 if var in ( "a", "aa", "aaa" ) : print "it is a kind of a ";
 elif var in ( "b", "bb", "bb" ) :print "it is a kind of b ";
 else : print "it is something else ";

Using for loops

suite = ecflow.Suite("x")
 previous = 0
 for i in (0,6,12,18,24) :
    fam = suite.add_family(str(i))
    if i != 0 :
       fam += Trigger("./" + previous + " == complete ")
       fam += Task('t1')
       fam += Task('t2', Trigger("t1 == complete"))
       previous = str(i)
