Issue details

I installed openslide-python using conda install -c conda-forge openslide-python. I get openslide.lowlevel.OpenSlideUnsupportedFormatError with:

>>> openslide.OpenSlide("000001.dcm")

when trying to import the first DICOM image from the 3DHISTECH example file.

OpenSlide Python is just a wrapper around OpenSlide. DICOM support requires OpenSlide 4.0.0, conda-forge hasn't updated to 4.0.0 yet, and the update will require some effort. If you'd like to work on updating the package, I'm sure the recipe maintainers would appreciate the help!
