"""This class represents datasets not supported by PyTables in an HDF5
file.
When reading a generic HDF5 file (i.e. one that has not been created with
PyTables, but with some other HDF5 library based tool), chances are that
the specific combination of datatypes or dataspaces in some dataset might
not be supported by PyTables yet. In such a case, this dataset will be
mapped into an UnImplemented instance and the user will still be able to
access the complete object tree of the generic HDF5 file. The user will
also be able to *read and write the attributes* of the dataset, *access
some of its metadata*, and perform *certain hierarchy manipulation
operations* like deleting or moving (but not copying) the node. Of course,
the user will not be able to read the actual data on it.
This is an elegant way to allow users to work with generic HDF5 files
despite the fact that some of its datasets are not supported by
PyTables. However, if you are really interested in having full access to an
unimplemented dataset, please get in contact with the developer team.
This class does not have any public instance variables or methods, except
those inherited from the Leaf class (see :ref:`LeafClassDescr`).
