Compound State Machines

[swrpug]

I have been evaluating this package for a day or so. Is there currently a way to create compound state machines? If not, is there a plan to do so? Thanks.

Hi @swrpug , how are you?

I do have a plan / desire to support compound states. I've worked on a PR to try out a proposal for the syntax, but it's being idle for a while: #329

Nice that you have interest in this feature. Feel free to contribute.

It would be great to have compound/parallel states, sure! Ideal would be to be able to digest scxml files like QScxmlStateMachine.fromfile(). The library xmltodict is very handy to parse automatically the xml file to get a dictionary with the description data, and it could be not be too difficult to create automatically a state machine from it. Using a graphical tool like QtCreator is definitely more user friendly to design a complex machine than in-line coding...

It's now in develop and will be shipped in v3.0! 🎉
