I think I would be more inclined to use enums. This has the advantages
of not creating a new set of state classes for every connection
instance and that each state is a singleton instance, allowing things
like "if self.state is SMTPConnectionState.IDLE". It could look
something like this:
class SMTPConnectionState(Enum):
class IDLE:
@classmethod
def handle_command(cls, conn, cmd):
# ...
class SPF_HELO:
@classmethod
def terminate(cls, conn):
# ...
