</div>
<p>A state machine class can be created by deriving it from this class. The transitions are defined by overriding the variable <cite>TRANSITIONS</cite>.
This Variable is a dictionary, where the key is the start-state and the content is a tuple or list of transitions. Each transition is a tuple or list
including the following information: (condition-method (str), transition-time (number), target_state (str)).</p>
