Here's my version :)

from typing import List


def likes(names: List[str]) -> str:
  messages = {
    0: 'no one likes this',
    1: '%s likes this',
    2: '%s and %s like this',
    3: '%s, %s and %s like this'
  }

  message = messages.get(len(names))
  if not message:
    return '%s, %s and %d others like this' % (*names[:2], len(names) - 2)

  return message % tuple(names)
