Description
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#type-objects-and-constructors
The standard defines the following type objects:
- STRING type
- BINARY type (supported in tarantool since 2.2.0-645-gb4e61e1b6)
- NUMBER type
- DATETIME type (not supported in tarantool yet)
- ROWID type (not supported in tarantool)
The standard also defines a set of constructors for those types. All of them are relevant to DATETIME except the following:
- Binary(string)
Let's provide types, which is supported in tarantool. Let's decide how to better deal with types, which are not supported in tarantool and which are supported in some versions.

Research direction
Start with PEP 249's “Type Objects and Constructors” section and review the existing DB-API surface in tarantool-python. Define the supported STRING, BINARY, and NUMBER objects or constructors, and establish how unsupported DATETIME and ROWID types and version-dependent support should be handled.
