@alanhdu : do you want to give this a try?

@alanhdu: I've added my test proposal but I've not yet been able to reproduce a failure. p.s. @Alt-Shivam, thanks! ``` flake8...................................................................Failed - hook id: flake8 - exit code: 1 zarr/tests/test_creation.py:733:5:...

As far is I know, no one has started working on it. I don't see any issue with both of you taking a look. Perhaps one could write tests and...

@olusanwo, sure! I'm sure everyone would look forward to a suggestion for this.

Repeating here from a recent chat with @sudoyolo: looking forward to seeing the notebook as a PR. It will need some additional work to integrate it into the readthedocs output....

@malmans2 : I don't think I can update your branch with the latest origin/main. Could you do so to get all the tests passing?

Happy if someone who wants to be adventurous speaks up, but I'd err on the side of the deprecation cycle.

Sorry for the delay, @malmans2, and thanks for the deprecation cycle. If we're temporarily accepting the stringification, would you be able to workaround your TypeError by explicitly calling `str()`?

Thanks, @malmans2! Rolling into 2.13

@kw90: how close is what you are doing to the code above?
