Whenever needed. Anytime you need something that could be represented as a key-value pair. For example, if you get into using Python with web development you may find yourself using a dictionary along with prepping an object to be converted to JSON.

Dictionaries give us O(1) average lookup times. So they are an important component in many different optimization strategies.

Also, the switch... Case doesn't exist in python. What is often use instead is a dictionary whose key are the condition and values are functions realizing the statement. This is a very useful way of using dictionaries

I once used it to strip a >1000 pages text document (ecported from an oldschool database) from all the regular words to find custom tags.
