===============


.. class:: ITopicDefnProvider

   All topic definition providers added via pub.addTopicDefnProvider()
   must have this interface. Derived classes must override the getDefn(),
   getTreeDoc() and topicNames() methods.

   .. method:: getDefn(self, topicNameTuple)

      Must return a pair (string, ArgSpecGiven) for given topic.
      The first item is a description for topic, the second item
      contains the message data specification (MDS). Note topic name
      is in tuple format ('a', 'b', 'c') rather than 'a.b.c'. 


   .. method:: getTreeDoc(self)

      Get the docstring for the topic tree.


   .. method:: topicNames(self)

      Return an iterator over topic names available from this provider.
      Note that the topic names should be in tuple rather than dotted-string
      format so as to be compatible with getDefn().
