Python function multiple IF statements?

I have question regarding for loops and functions, so there list of values which as three input variables which are values for example 0-5 or direction (West, North etc), I am not sure if I using If statement correctly. Have I done something wrong with for loop command or the function?

Example of array input variables but there isn't any set limit in data set:

['Start', 'Bottom right', 1]['South', 1, 1], ['North', 3, 4], ['West', 4, 0], ['West', 2, 0], ['South', 3, 4]

If I run the function, it will always give me else function and won't follow any of commands.

def follow_path(a):
    legend()    #draw legend

    for draw in a:
        direction(a[0])
        location(a[1])
        choosetoken(a[2])


def location(corner):
    if corner == 'Top left':
        goto(0,600)
    if corner == 'Top right':
        goto(600,600)
    if corner == 'Bottom left':
        home()
    if corner == 'Bottom right':
        goto(600,0)
    if corner == 'Center':
        goto(300,300)
    if corner == 1:
        forward(100)
    if corner == 2:
        forward(200)
    if corner == 3:
        forward(300)
    if corner == 4:
        forward(400)
    if corner == 5:
        forward(500)
    else:
        print ("Check input '1' is correct or not")

def direction(direction):
    if direction == 'West':
        setheading(180)
    if direction == 'East':
        setheading(0)
    if direction == 'North':
        setheading(90)
    if direction == 'West':
        setheading(270)
    if direction == 'Start':
        home()   
    else:
        print ("Check input '0' is correct or not")

def choosetoken(a): #Draw shapes
    if a == 0:
        youtube()
    elif a == 1:
        chrome()
    elif a == 2:
        googledrive()
    elif a == 3:
        gmail()
    elif a == 4:
        photo()
    else:
        print ("Token Value out of range, check if input '2' is correct or not")
