float object has no attribute replace

I have a dict of telegraf tags {u'status': u'success', u'priority': 5.0} that chokes up the conversion to string.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Tag values should all be strings (Influx rules).

I'm not sure if we should just try to convert everything to a string for tag values that are not strings. Maybe a developer makes a mistake and puts an object there and calling str() on it just gives a representation of the object. 🤷‍♂️

At least for primitive types, should the library convert those?
