docs: def get(self, cycle_list, dataitem=None, isotope=None, sparse=1):
          """
          Simple function that simply calls h5T.py get method.  There
          are three ways to call this function.
  
          Parameters
          ----------
          cycle_list : string, list
              If cycle_list is a string, then get interpates the argument
              cycle_list as a dataitem and fetches the dataitem for all
              cycles.
  
              If cycle_list is a list, then get fetches the dataitem for
              the cycles in the list.
          dataitem : string, optional
              fetches the dataitem from the list of cycles.  If dataitem
              is None, then cycle_list must be a string and will be used
              as dataitem.  If dataitem is an isotope in the form 'H-2',
              it then returns the result of,
  
              >>> self.get(cycle_list,'iso_massf',dataitem)
  
              The default is None.
          isotope : string, optional
              The name of the isotope to fetch, it must be in the form
              'H-2'.  If isotope is None, then cycle_list or dataitem
              must be a string.  The default is None.
          sparse : integer, optional
              Implements a sparsity factor on the fetched data.  The
              default is 1.
  
          Notes
          -----
          Calling the get method directly in the form,
  
          >>> self.get(cycle_list,'iso_massf',dataitem)
  
          is depricated, and only included for compatibility.
