class DataSet(object):
    """A virtual base class for datasets.

    A DataSet is a generator of iterators; these iterators can run through the
    examples in a variety of ways.  A DataSet need not necessarily have a finite
    or known length, so this class can be used to interface to a 'stream' which
    feeds on-line learning. 

    To iterate over examples, there are several possibilities:
    - for example in dataset.zip([field1, field2,field3, ...])
    - for val1,val2,val3 in dataset.zip([field1, field2,field3])
    - for minibatch in dataset.minibatches([field1, field2, ...],minibatch_size=N)
    - for example in dataset
    Each of these is documented below. All of these iterators are expected
    to provide, in addition to the usual 'next()' method, a 'next_index()' method
    which returns a non-negative integer pointing to the position of the next
    example that will be returned by 'next()' (or of the first example in the
    next minibatch returned). This is important because these iterators
    can wrap around the dataset in order to do multiple passes through it,
    in possibly unregular ways if the minibatch size is not a divisor of the
    dataset length.

    Note: Fields are not mutually exclusive, i.e. two fields can overlap in their actual content.

    Note: The content of a field can be of any type.

    Note: A dataset can recognize a potentially infinite number of field names (i.e. the field
    values can be computed on-demand, when particular field names are used in one of the
    iterators).

    Datasets of finite length should be sub-classes of FiniteLengthDataSet.

    Datasets whose elements can be indexed and sub-datasets of consecutive
    examples (i.e. slices) can be extracted from should be sub-classes of
    SliceableDataSet.

    Datasets with a finite number of fields should be sub-classes of
    FiniteWidthDataSet.

        a list-like container of the f2 field, etc.

        Beware that some datasets may not support this syntax, if the number
        of fields is infinite (i.e. field values may be computed "on demand").

        Using the third syntax, i1, i2, i3 will be list-like containers of the
        f1, f2, and f3 fields of a batch of examples on each loop iteration.

        PARAMETERS
        - fieldnames (list of any type, default None):
        The loop variables i1, i2, i3 (in the example above) should contain the
        f1, f2, and f3 fields of the current batch of examples.  If None, the
        derived class can choose a default, e.g. all fields.

        - minibatch_size (integer, default 1)
        On every iteration, the variables i1, i2, i3 will have
        exactly minibatch_size elements. e.g. len(i1) == minibatch_size

        - n_batches (integer, default None)
        The iterator will loop exactly this many times, and then stop.  If None,
        the derived class can choose a default.  If (-1), then the returned
        iterator should support looping indefinitely.

        Note: A list-like container is something like a tuple, list, numpy.ndarray or
        any other object that supports integer indexing and slicing.
