Getting Syntax Error in Keyword Class Patterns

Question

City class and a few instances

import typing

class City(typing.NamedTuple):
    continent: str
    name: str
    country: str


cities = [
    City('Asia', 'Tokyo', 'JP'),
    City('Asia', 'Delhi', 'IN'),
    City('North America', 'Mexico City', 'MX'),
    City('North America', 'New York', 'US'),
    City('South America', 'São Paulo', 'BR'),
]

The following function should return a list of Asian cities:

def match_asian_cities():
    results = []
    for city in cities:
        match city:
            case City(continent='Asia'):
                results.append(city)
    return results

But on calling match_asian_cities() I am getting SyntaxError: invalid syntax

SyntaxError: invalid syntax (Temp/ipykernel_5228/716370306.py, line 20)
  File "C:\Users\LENOVO\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_5228/716370306.py", line 20
    match city:
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Need help to fix this. Thanks!

Answer 1

how about the below

import typing

class City(typing.NamedTuple):
    continent: str
    name: str
    country: str


cities = [
    City('Asia', 'Tokyo', 'JP'),
    City('Asia', 'Delhi', 'IN'),
    City('North America', 'Mexico City', 'MX'),
    City('North America', 'New York', 'US'),
    City('South America', 'São Paulo', 'BR'),
]

asian = [c for c in cities if c.continent == 'Asia']
print(asian)

output

[City(continent='Asia', name='Tokyo', country='JP'), City(continent='Asia', name='Delhi', country='IN')]
