I haven't finished to read the article, but as I don't know
when I will do (travels, work, etc..) I prefer to make a
suggestion right away.

Look at the module flux (http://sf.net/projects/lleu). I
developed it for workflow (which maybe is a synonym of
business process). Basically it lets to describe a digraph
and to associate actions to states and transitions via
the Python introspection features. Very simple, very
pythonic, maybe it will be useful for you, I will welcome
your feedback.


Best regards,
david
