Bug Description
Using utf-8 in IPTC keys implies this encoding is declared by setting Iptc.Envelope.
This information is not well documented and not well known.
It is also not that easy to achieve with pyexiv2 0.1, because Iptc.Envelope.
ExifTool has a convenience function to set this parameter simply and explicitly. Something similar would be useful in pyexiv2 too.
