    """Enables deserialization by injecting the proper class type.

    To make deserilization work for you, write a constructor like:

    def __init__(self, arg1, arg2='foo'):
        # It is important that self.arg1 = arg1.  Otherwise arguments
        # won't be sent over the wire correctly.
        self.arg1 = arg1
        self.arg2 = arg2

    Serialization happens automatically when using XMLRPC proxies, since
    Python's XMLRPC framework will take all fields from your object and drop
    them into a dict to go over the wire.  To deserialize your object on the
    other side, call deserialize() and pass in the module defining the
    requisite class.

    serialize() is provided to allow objects to fake that they are XMLRPC
    proxies.
