web3.personal.unlockAccount doesn't accept integer as unlock period parameter
See original GitHub issue- Version: 3.9.0
- Python: 2.7
- OS: not platform specific
What was wrong?
Method web3.personal.unlockAccount doesn’t accept integer as unlock period parameter.
Example:
web3.personal.unlockAccount(eth_address, 'strongPassword', 10000)
returns ValueError:
ValueError: {u'message': u'invalid type: integer 10000, expected a 0x-prefixed, hex-encoded number of type U128', u'code': -32602, u'data': None}
when using value in HEX :
web3.personal.unlockAccount(eth_address, 'strongPassword', 10000)
it works fine (returns True)

Apologies, was OoO. @djrtwo I’m connected to the parity node. I was testing in v3.9.0. It’s not a issue for me to provide the number in hex, but it variable type wasn’t consistent with web3js, that’s why Piper recommended to file a bug.
Oh, so it’s node specific. Looks like a false alarm, feel free to close the bug.
Yes! Apologies, copy paste fail.
