Can you explain the concept of match case in Python and how it is used for handling conditions?

The match case construct in Python appeared in version 3.10 and is an extended version of the switch statement from other languages, but with more powerful pattern matching capabilities.

It allows checking a variable's value against different patterns and executing code depending on the match. This is useful for handling complex conditions and data structures.

Example of usage:

command = "start"

match command:
    case "start":
        print("Starting process")
    case "stop":
        print("Stopping process")
    case _:
        print("Unknown command")

Here, match checks the value of the variable command, and case specifies the possible options. The symbol _ means "any other case".

You can also match complex structures, such as lists or dictionaries, and use additional conditions.
