class ServerSession(threading.Thread):
    """
    The thread that controls the communication with the server and the
    internal execution of the client.

    ServerSession is the intelligent part of the client application. It
    is implemented as an event-loop machine, receiving events from many
    sources: the user, ServerSession itself, other application
    components and the server, each with a different priority level. It
    decides, for example, when to handle operations for synchronizing
    data and when to answer to messages from the server, thus
    implementing the communication protocol.
    The logic is implemented as an object-oriented state machine, which
    decides which events to handle in each state and how to do it.
    ServerSession is both a container (formally a "context") for "state"
    objects and the only public interface of this component. The context
    gives the states a shared memory space and access to other
    components.
    All the logic is actually implemented in the state objects, limiting
    ServerSession to execute the "current state". State objects also
    decide when to switch to another state, as a reaction to an input
    event. The states are implemented using object-oriented inheritance
    in order to common factor the logic of several states, making
    ServerSession precisely a "Hierarchical State Machine".
    See the "State" design pattern from the book: Gamma et al, "Design
    Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" for a
    reference to the design.

class ServerSession(threading.Thread):
    """
    The thread that controls the communication with the server and the
    internal execution of the client.

    ServerSession is the intelligent part of the client application. It
    is implemented as an event-loop machine, receiving events from many
    sources: the user, ServerSession itself, other application
    components and the server, each with a different priority level. It
    decides, for example, when to handle operations for synchronizing
    data and when to answer to messages from the server, thus
    implementing the communication protocol.
    The logic is implemented as an object-oriented state machine, which
    decides which events to handle in each state and how to do it.
    ServerSession is both a container (formally a "context") for "state"
    objects and the only public interface of this component. The context
    gives the states a shared memory space and access to other
    components.
    All the logic is actually implemented in the state objects, limiting
    ServerSession to execute the "current state". State objects also
    decide when to switch to another state, as a reaction to an input
    event. The states are implemented using object-oriented inheritance
    in order to common factor the logic of several states, making
    ServerSession precisely a "Hierarchical State Machine".
    See the "State" design pattern from the book: Gamma et al, "Design
    Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" for a
    reference to the design.
