# dataset.py
"""Module for Dataset class

Overview of Dicom object model:

Dataset(derived class of Python's dict class)
   contains DataElement instances (DataElement is a class with tag, VR, value)
     the value can be a Sequence instance
        (Sequence is derived from Python's list),
     or just a regular value like a number, string, etc.,
     or a list of regular values, e.g. a 3d coordinate
            Sequence's are a list of Datasets (note recursive nature here)
