Looking for contributors: Automata_Diags (Python automata toolkit)

Hi everyone! I’m looking for contributors to Automata_Diags, an open‑source Python toolkit for learning and experimenting with automata theory (DFA, NFA, PDA, CFG, TM) with diagram generation.

What the project does

  • Build and simulate common automata types
  • Validate alphabets, states, and transitions
  • Generate state diagrams (Graphviz)
  • Include example scripts for quick demos

Why I’m posting

I want to make the project more useful for students and educators, improve testing, and expand examples. If you like automata theory or want a focused Python OSS project to contribute to, I’d love your help.

Where I’d love help

  • More examples and use cases (especially TM, PDA, CFG)
  • Tests and edge‑case coverage
  • Documentation and tutorials
  • Bug fixes and small refactors

How to contribute

Open an issue with ideas or pick a small improvement and send a PR. Clear repro steps and small, focused changes are ideal.

Thanks for taking a look—feedback is welcome, even if you don’t contribute code.
