Got error with the latest dev version:

ax.plot(np.arange(10))

Traceback

The error seems related to this PR #410.

[syrte]

It works if I remove the two lines introduced in PR #410
Not sure if it is related to my specific configuration. Let's see if there are others who met this problem as well.

[scottstanie]

Yes you're right, sorry about that. It is from that PR since I didn't test a wide variety of inputs in my quick fix. I'll try and add something to avoid the bad dtype check, but I'm open to people's ideas about robustly checking for it

[lukelbd]

Thanks for the report -- not your fault @scottstanie. That was a very sloppy approval on my part. Should have been more careful in the review, and travis CI should have caught it when you created the PR anyway. Seems proplot is out of credits again, and the CI webhook is not functioning (red triangle in screenshot); have just contacted Travis to replenish credits.

Eventually I need to switch to github actions, as travis has unfortunately become very unreliable / hostile to open source projects. I am also planning to improve the CI testing -- currently I simply have travis CI compile the documentation examples, but I have a full testing suite based on pytest-mpl uncommitted on my machine that I am planning to add to the CI workflow this spring (#413). PRs / community contributions should then be much simpler / safer.
