== Notes ==

This class is defined in the 'old' way.  Will need to be changed for python 2.6/3.x.

'''Way too overloaded''' in the constructor.  For instance, data_points are `either` a 2-dimensional array of points `or` a filename of input data.  Yet there is also a file_name parameter for a filename!?  Maybe better not to fill with data in the constructor but call one of a selection of 'file_with_data' routines later.

Not sure that building in blocking to this class is the correct approach.  Perhaps better to override file semantics to provide blocking and then get this class to contain a reference to a file-like object to get data from.  See above point, also.
