Newbie python design question

[Philippe C. Martin]

Hi,

I C I usually use switch for my FSMs, in Python however I usually use if +
elif ....

Your question makes me realize it would be trivial to use a dictionnary in
case the FSM had too many states, the key being the state and the item the
method to handle the state.

Regards,

Philippe
