Trying to lint recipe results in AttributeError

I’m trying to lint my code locally and I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mariana/miniconda3/bin/conda-smithy", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

AttributeError: 'CommentedMap' object has no attribute 'partition'

I’m running on the following folder:

(base) mariana@wintermute ~/dev/staged-recipes/recipes/xeus-octave (xeus-octave?) $ conda smithy recipe-lint .

Fresh installation out of conda-forge.

Note that conda-smithy’s linter is not supposed to be a linter for a correct conda-build recipe, but it’s a linter to give suggestions on making a correct recipe to be better and conform to conda-forge standards. That’s why we don’t have extensive checks to make sure the recipe is correct. PRs welcome though.

It’s not a huge amount of work. For this case, we need to check that requirement is actually a string before calling .partition on it.
