I have see some discussion on the implementation of finite
state machine in python. Can somebody point to me the best way
in implenting an FSM in python?
To offer a "best way" requires knowing more about what you're
trying to accomplish. Are you looking for just some fixed
states? are you looking to dynamically adjust the available
states? Is this workflow for a single user, or is it for
multiple users? A FSM merely involves a list of states and the
transitions between them. You can augment the states and/or the
transitions with additional metadata. You can store your states
in fixed internal hard-coded structures, or you can store them in
a file/database that can grow external.
I posted information on doing this with a SQL-ish database
(whether sqlite or whatever) a while back, so you can see a more
"complex" version of tracking this info:

Hope this gives you some ideas from which to choose an option
that's "best" for your needs.
