would be nice if `Info.info()` accepted non-`str` types in the given `dict`

Hey.

Right now, when one feeds a dict into Info.info()that contains values that are notstr` one get's an exception, like:

AttributeError: ("'float' object has no attribute 'replace'", Metric(smart_array, blafasl, info, , [Sample(name='smart_array_info', labels={'slot': '0', 'serial_number': 'xxx', 'controller_status': 'OK', 'hardware_revision': 'B', 'firmware_version': '6.60', 'rebuild_priority': 'High', 'cache_status': 'OK', 'battery_capacitor_status': 'OK', 'controller_temperature_celsius': 49.0, 'cache_module_temperature_celsius': 38.0, 'model': 'Smart Array P840ar'}, value=1.0, timestamp=None, exemplar=None)]))

IMO it woud be nice if that would accept at least other base Python types like int, float and bool and convert these automatically do a suitable representation (which is obvious, I guess, expect perhaps for bool , where one could go by 0/1 (guess that should be it) or True/False/etc.).

Stripping off \n and the likes wouldn't be needed for those types anyway.

Perhaps one could make it generic? Only if the value is an instance of str, try to .replace(...) in all other cases, make a str() out of it?

Maybe with an exception for bool if 0/1 shall be used.

Cheers,
Chris.

Start by locating the Info.info() implementation and its existing tests, then reproduce the reported failure with a dict containing float, int, and bool values. The work is done when supported non-string values are accepted with a defined representation and tests cover the conversion behavior.
