|api| Class API
===============


.. class:: TopicDefnDeserialModule(ITopicDefnDeserializer)

   Deserialize a module containing Python source code defining a topic tree.
   This loads the module and gives it to an instance of TopicDefnDeserialClass.

   .. method:: __init__(self, moduleName, searchPath=None)

      Load the given named module, searched for in searchPath or, if not
      specified, in sys.path. Give it to a TopicDefnDeserialClass.


   .. method:: doneIter(self)

      Called automatically by TopicDefnProvider once
      it considers the iteration completed. Override this only if
      deserializer needs to take action, such as closing a file.


   .. method:: getDefinedTopics(self)


   .. method:: getNextTopic(self)

      Get the next topic definition available from the data. The return
      must be an instance of TopicDefn. Must return None when no topics
      are left.


   .. method:: getTreeDoc(self)

      Get the docstring for the topic tree.


   .. method:: resetIter(self)

      Called by the TopicDefnProvider if it needs to
      restart the topic iteration. Override this only if special action needed,
      such as resetting a file pointer to beginning of file.
