Be flexible and allow setting the value of a LangAlt tag to a string,
in which case it is automatically converted to {'x-default': value}.

Add some sanity checks.

364. By Olivier Tilloy on 2011-08-17

Check the type before setting a tag’s value and raise a TypeError if it doesn’t match.

Updated copyright header of the file modified in the previous revision.

White-list accepted tag families: 'exif', 'iptc', 'xmp'.
Any other family will raise a KeyError.

361. By Olivier Tilloy on 2011-08-17

Add a unit test to check that using the dictionary interface with an incorrect tag family raises a KeyError as expected.

Allow assigning dates earlier than the year 1900.
This requires a custom DateTimeFormatter helper as Python’s strftime() doesn’t support years before 1900
(see http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior for details).

Fix timezone formatting when writing IPTC and XMP tags.
This introduces an optional dependency on python-tz in unit tests.

Do not try (and fail!) to encode non-unicode filenames.

Always write extracted previews as binary files.
On windows this is necessary, otherwise the data written on disk is corrupted and results in bogus image files.
