This is an implementation of Finite State Machine in Python. There are many versions of this model but here is another version.
The idea here to view each FSM as an independent container for processing events. These FSM containers can run in different threads/processes/nodes. Since the data and event are together, the event dispatch can send the pair to any FSM container. The trick here is to make sure that the FSM container doesn't maintiain any context of the data. So there is a centralized data/context repository which is used by the FSM containers and the event dispatch would just pick the context-event pair and send it to a free FSM container.
The order of state, event matching is done as following sequence. (state, event) -> (action, next_state) (state, any) -> (action, next_state) (any, event) -> (action, next_state) (any, any) -> (action, next_state)
A lot of work and change of design is needed. Any help/suggestions are very helpful.
TODO:
- Use other FSM containers other than XML like yaml/json.
- Enhance the event dispatch mechanism.
###Simply create an fsm in XML.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fsm name='calc'>
<import>simple_calc_actions</import>
<states prefix="">
<init>DIGIT1</init>
<state>DIGIT1</state>
<state>DIGIT2</state>
</states>
<events prefix="">
<event>DIGIT</event>
<event>OPERATOR</event>
<event>WS</event>
<event>RESULT</event>
</events>
<actions prefix="">
<action>operand1</action>
<action>operand2</action>
<action>operator</action>
<action>result</action>
</actions>
<tables>
<table state='DIGIT1' event='DIGIT' action='operand1' next_state='DIGIT1'/>
<table state='DIGIT1' event='OPERATOR' action='operator' next_state='DIGIT2'/>
<table state='DIGIT2' event='DIGIT' action='operand2' next_state='DIGIT2'/>
<table state='DIGIT2' event='RESULT' action='result' next_state='DIGIT1'/>
<table state='Any' event='WS' action='null' next_state='Same'/>
<table state='Any' event='Any' action='log' next_state='Same'/>
</tables>
</fsm>
###Define actions
num1 = 0
num2 = 0
oper = ''
res = ''
def log(context):
print ("Error Event Received.")
def null(context):
pass
def operand1(context):
global num1
num1 = (num1 * 10) + int(context.data)
def operand2(context):
global num2
num2 = (num2 * 10) + int(context.data)
def operator(context):
global oper
oper = context.data
def result(context):
global num1, num2, oper, res
res = 'NOP'
if oper == '+':
res = num1 + num2
elif oper == '-':
res = num1 - num2
elif oper == '*':
res = num1 * num2
elif oper == '/':
if num2 == 0:
res = 'NOP'
else:
res = float(num1) / num2
print (' ' + str(res))
# resetting data holders
num1 = num2 = 0
oper = ''
