Slice on Dataset object should return another Dataset object

[svetlyak40wt]

This is logical.

And Dataset have to have iter method as well, because list(dataset) results in subsequent calls to getitem and not efficient.

Slicing is a bit odd at the moment. I'd like revisit it entirely to be honest.

[svetlyak40wt]

Well, should this task be closed as a "Won't fix"?

[kennethreitz]

More like "opens a can of worms". There's a lot of things that I'd like to change about tablib in general...

[svetlyak40wt]

Then, all these things have to be Issues. That way, contributors will be able to figure out what features or refactoring to be implemented.

This project is in a bit of a crisis state — it's really useful, and I use regularly. However, I wrote it several years ago and haven't touched it since. In order to get the project into a stable state I'm closing all issues and pull requests to get a "fresh slate"

Don't take this as aggressive — it's just necessary for the project to make any progress any time soon (it's pretty clear the project is effectively unmaintained at the moment). Great things to come! Please watch the GitHub logs and feel free to re-open this discussion soon. I just need to really it into a good state first.
