Description

If I look at some functions, such as the following:

https://github.com/ni/nimi-python/blob/872eb260f2a0969dfa366415d574c7417abae80d/src/nidcpower/metadata/functions.py#L866-L871

I see 'codegen_method': 'no'.

We should describe why a certain function or attribute was not supported in python.

Research direction

Start with src/nidcpower/metadata/functions.py at lines 866-871 and inspect the entries marked with codegen_method set to no. Identify the unsupported functions or attributes and document the reason for each; done means the metadata or accompanying documentation clearly explains why Python support is unavailable.
