Sismic Interactive State Machine Interpreter and Checker

Statecharts are a well-known visual language for modeling the executable behavior of complex reactive event-based systems. The Sismic library for Python >= 3.4 provides a set of tools to define, simulate, execute and debug statecharts. More specifically, Sismic provides:

• An easy way to define and to import statecharts, based on the human-friendly YAML markup language

• A statechart interpreter offering discrete, step-by-step, and fully observable simulation engine

• Built-in support for expressing actions and guards using regular Python code

• A design-by-contract programming approach for statecharts

• A unit testing framework for statecharts
