Description
When adding metadatas, the python-libzim is doing a conversion for some types.
This should be removed because:
- the python-libzim is meant to be only a thin wrapper around the C libzim
- not all types are handled which is confusing (for instance we missed the conversion of tags list to a string)
This would need a major release since it is a breaking change.
