Also release the GIL when opening a file,
this is a potentially long-running blocking IO operation.

239. By Olivier Tilloy on 2009-12-21

Release the GIL while reading/writing metadata.
This allows other python threads to continue running while costly IO operations are being performed.

Also, this is my in-flight commit (somewhere between Barcelona and Paris).

Fixed ExifTag.__str__ for multiple values.

237. By Olivier Tilloy on 2009-12-18

Merged the "C++ tags" branch.

Metadata tags are now wrapped in C++ classes in the low-level binding, making it
easier to access all the information about a tag, including its value(s).

This is especially true for XMP tags for which various methods exist to set the
value depending on the type of the tag.

It also makes the high-level API of metadata tags simpler and
developer-friendly. To instantiate a tag, one only needs a key (and optionally a
value).

Updated the TODO list.

235. By Olivier Tilloy on 2009-10-28

Pass IPTC Dates to exiv2 in the correct format (%Y-%m-%d).

234. By Olivier Tilloy on 2009-10-26

Do not allow setting the values of an IPTC tag to something else than a list or a tuple.

233. By Olivier Tilloy on 2009-10-23

Fixed the signature of the setIptcTagValues method.

232. By Olivier Tilloy on 2009-10-20

Code split into various python modules.

231. By Olivier Tilloy on 2009-10-08

Do not do any charset conversions for IPTC tags.
