Some people are sayint this is extremely non idiomatic python. I think most of the problem is not following the style guides. Here's a pep8 compliant solution that is a bit more idomatic, and almost as compact.

In Python, the way to do pattern matching is with dictionaries of functions.

    fizz_buzz = {(True, True): lambda x: "Fizzbuzz",
                 (True, False): lambda x: "Fizz",
                 (False, True): lambda x: "Buzz",
                 (False, False): lambda x: x}

    for i in range(1, 30):
        fbsign = (i % 3 == 0, i % 5 == 0)
        print(fizz_buzz[fbsign](i))

I see it as over thinking simple stuff. Maybe I think about performance too much but constructing a dictionary and then defining functions to do simple signature thing is imo just over designing things. Too much abstraction for expressing a simple concept. Performance aside, you need to go find the dictionary once you see code like that while with chain of if-else statements it's right there in front of your eyes.

As to 0 and 1 thing... Python has C'ish boolean (basically an integer type). Using True and False as numbers is completely standard as PEP 285 indicates. I tend to agree that maybe here using True/False is a bit more natural but it really is type-purity nitpick in my view.

Could you point out which part of PEP8 the code in my original post violates? While I don't really like a lot of currently popular style I see a lot of values in following the PEP's and long established conventions.

That's not genuinely pattern matching, however. It only works for patterns without member binding.
