Data API seems to not be working with strings

I’m having issues getting py.grid_ops.upload to work with strings, it seems to only work with numbers.

This works for me:

grid = Grid([
        Column([1,2,3], 'one'),
        Column([4,5,6], 'two'),
        Column([7,8,9], 'three')
    ])

url = py.grid_ops.upload(grid, filename='test-201706140822', world_readable=False, auto_open=True)

## Run the above first, then run this

py.grid_ops.append_rows([[1,2,3]], grid = grid)

But when I try the exact same thing with Strings, it doesn’t work for me:

grid = Grid([
        Column(['a','b','c'], 'one'),
        Column(['d','e','f'], 'two'),
        Column(['one', 'two', 'three'], 'three')
    ])

url = py.grid_ops.upload(grid, filename='test-201706140820', world_readable=False, auto_open=True)

## Run the above first, then run this

py.grid_ops.append_rows([['g','h','four']], grid = grid)

I’m using python 3.5.2 and plotly 2.0.10

@Kully @cldougl I’m still getting the 500 error when running this on my end, but I also just realized I should have opened this up on streambed rather than plotly.py. So, I’ll reopen the issue there.

@charleyferrari ^ I just ran the code above and didn’t get an error: the graph was successfully created.

I think we can close the original issue as it is working.
