Error when calling publish_workbook on a file greater than 20MB

[amaher1992]

I have recently started to use tableau_tools to upload dynamically created Tableau workbooks to Tableau server. I can get a code snippet to work when uploading workbooks smaller than 20MB, but I receive an error when I try to upload larger notebooks. I think the problem may be coming from the way in which this package handles the sending of chunks of data to the Tableau API, but I'm not sure.

Below is the error that I receive in my code snippet:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

I am using Python 3.5.2 and the most recent version of tableau_tools. Please let me know if I can provide more information.
