buttonPressed and buttonReleased.

To implement the state model, you will need to implement __init__ and 4 other methods
to support model start, stop, entry actions, exit actions, and state actions.

The following methods must be implemented:
__init__: create instances of your View and Business model classes, create an instance
of the StateModel with the necessary number of states and add the transitions, buttons
and timers that the StateModel needs

stateEntered(self, state, event) - Entry actions
stateLeft(self, state, event) - Exit actions
stateDo(self, state) - do Activities

# A couple other methods are available - but they can be left alone for most purposes

run(self) - runs the State Model - this will start at State 0 and drive the state model
stop(self) - stops the State Model - will stop processing events and stop the timers

This template currently implements a very simple state model that uses a button to
transition from state 0 to state 1 then a 5 second timer to go back to state 0.

class StateModel:
    """
    A really simple implementation of a generic state model
    Keeps track of a number of states by sending the total number
    of states to the constructor. State numbers always start from 0
    which is the start state.

    Also takes a handler which is just a reference to a class that has
    three responder methods. The responder methods for stateEntered and
    stateLeft receives the state that was entered or left,
    with the event code that caused it. stateDo only receives the current
    state.
    
        stateEntered(state, event)
        stateLeft(state, event)
        stateDo(state)

    Currently the following types of events are supported.
    
    * Button events - these are created by calling the addButton method. The button's
      existing handler will be replaced with the model's handler, and two events of the
      following form will be enabled: [name]_press and [name]_release. Note
      that two buttons cannot have the same name.
    * Timer events - these are generated by software or hardware timers. Created by calling
      the addTimer method - will create an event [name}_timeout. Again, two timers
      cannot have the same name.
    * "no_event" is for non-event-related transitions. So if a state performs 
       the entry actions and do actions and then immediately goes to the next state, 
       no_event can be used.
    * Custom events - if a condition event needs to be executed, call the addCustomEvent
      method with the name of the event. This name can now be used for transitions, but the
      Controller must check the condition itself, and then call processEvent("eventname")
      when the codnition is satisfied.

    The calling class or the handler must override stateEntered and
    stateLeft to perform actions as per the state model

    After creating the state, call addTransition to determine
    how the model transitions from one state to the next.

    As events start coming in, call processEvent on the event to
    have the state model transition as per the transition matrix.
