Minimal state machine

Usage

import fsm

class MyTasks(fsm.FiniteStateMachineMixin):
    """An example to test the state machine.

    Contains transitions to everywhere, nowhere and specific states.
    """

    state_machine = {
        'created': '__all__',

InvalidTransition: The transition from pending to failed is not valid

There are hooks that can be included before a state transition happens and after.

fsm will look for these functions

pre_<state_name>
post_<state_name>

And will give them any extra argument given to change_state

E.g:

Running m.change_state('pending', name='john') will trigger pre_pending(name='john')

Installation

pip install fsmpy

Django integration

from django.db import models

Development

To run the tests run:

tox

Note, to combine the coverage data from all the tox environments run:

Windows
set PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append
tox
