Hi Tim,

Yes you can read metadata, those are stored in M prefix so retrieving the tags for example would be fetching article at M/Tags. There's no way to query the list of metadata at the moment. Indexes are stored in X namespace. I'd suggest you loop down from File.article_count using File.get_article_by_id() as indexes and metadata are stored last. With current pylibzim, you don't have control over the creation of indexes but you could still extract those.

Congratulations on completing the huge task of producing the EN Wikip.

I also look forward to pyzim.

Looking at the notes I see an example of reading an article. However, I would like to be able to read the zim metadata. Is this possible? Even further afield would it be possible to extract the search index so as to merge it with another index, even one prepared from another source?

As always great work,

Tim
