dataknobs-fsm 0.1.13

Finite State Machine framework with data modes, resource management, and streaming support

DataKnobs FSM

Finite State Machine framework with data modes, resource management, and streaming support.

Features

• Multiple APIs: SimpleFSM, AsyncSimpleFSM, and AdvancedFSM for different use cases
• Data Handling Modes: COPY, REFERENCE, and DIRECT modes for flexible data management
• Resource Management: Built-in support for databases, files, HTTP services, and vector stores
• Streaming Support: Process large datasets with chunking and backpressure handling
• Advanced Debugging: Step-by-step execution, breakpoints, and execution hooks
• Flexible Configuration: YAML/JSON configuration with schema validation
• Built-in Functions: Library of common validation and transformation functions

Installation

pip install dataknobs-fsm

Quick Start

Simple FSM

from dataknobs_fsm import SimpleFSM
from dataknobs_fsm.core.data_modes import DataHandlingMode

# Define configuration
config = {
    "name": "data_pipeline",
    "states": [
        {"name": "start", "is_start": True},
        {"name": "process"},
        {"name": "end", "is_end": True}
    ],
    "arcs": [
        {
            "from": "start",
            "to": "process",
            "transform": {
                "type": "inline",
                "code": "lambda data, ctx: {**data, 'processed': True}"
            }
        },
        {"from": "process", "to": "end"}
    ]
}

# Create and run FSM
fsm = SimpleFSM(config, data_mode=DataHandlingMode.COPY)
result = fsm.process({"input": "data"})
print(f"Result: {result['data']}")

Advanced FSM with Debugging

from dataknobs_fsm import AdvancedFSM, ExecutionMode
import asyncio

async def debug_example():
    # Create FSM with debug mode
    fsm = AdvancedFSM(
        "config.yaml",
        execution_mode=ExecutionMode.DEBUG
    )

    # Add breakpoint
    fsm.add_breakpoint("process")

    # Create context and run
    context = fsm.create_context({"input": "data"})
    await fsm.run_until_breakpoint(context)
    print(f"Stopped at: {context.current_state}")

    # Continue execution
    await fsm.step(context)

asyncio.run(debug_example())

Running Examples

# Navigate to the FSM package
cd packages/fsm

# Run the database ETL example
uv run python examples/database_etl.py

# Run the data processing pipeline
uv run python examples/data_pipeline_example.py

# Run streaming example
uv run python examples/end_to_end_streaming.py

# Run with custom parameters
uv run python examples/database_etl.py --batch-size 500

Data Handling Modes

The FSM framework provides three data handling modes:

• COPY Mode: Creates deep copies of data for each state, ensuring isolation
• REFERENCE Mode: Uses lazy loading with optimistic locking for memory efficiency
• DIRECT Mode: In-place modifications for maximum performance (single-threaded only)

from dataknobs_fsm import SimpleFSM
from dataknobs_fsm.core.data_modes import DataHandlingMode

# Use COPY mode for safety
fsm = SimpleFSM(config, data_mode=DataHandlingMode.COPY)

# Use REFERENCE mode for large datasets
fsm = SimpleFSM(config, data_mode=DataHandlingMode.REFERENCE)

# Use DIRECT mode for performance
fsm = SimpleFSM(config, data_mode=DataHandlingMode.DIRECT)

LLM Integration

For LLM-specific integrations, workflows, and examples, please see the dataknobs-llm package:

• FSM Integration Module: dataknobs_llm.fsm_integration
• LLM Workflow Patterns: RAG pipelines, chain-of-thought, multi-agent systems
• Conversation Examples: FSM-based conversational AI systems
• Documentation: See packages/llm/README.md for FSM integration guide

The LLM package provides comprehensive LLM abstractions, providers, and FSM integration capabilities.
