Getting Started

1. Checkout the Fantasm source.
2. Place the fantasm package in your Python path (found in the src directory).
3. Write an fsm.yaml file for your desired machine. See YamlDescription for details.
4. Write event handlers for the states. See FsmActions for details.
5. Add the Fantasm mount point to your app.yaml file. See AppYaml for details.
6. Hit the machine-specific url for your machine. The FSM will begin to execute, queuing tasks and executing your event handlers. See MachineEntryPoints for details.

Sample Machines

There is a sample application located in the test directory of the download that shows a number of sample machines. Use the development app server pointing at this application and hit the root page (e.g., http://localhost:8102). Instructions appear on that page.

NOTE The test application relies on a symbolic link to the fantasm directory in src. Depending on your operating system or your svn client, you may need to manually copy the src/fantasm directory into your test directory.
