Raise a better error message when select* are given non string options and no preprocessor is given

[doronbehar]

MWE:

import beaupy
# works
beaupy.select(
    options= [982, 898, 859]
)
# Doesn't work
beaupy.select_multiple(
    options= [982, 898, 859]
)

Hey hey, it's not supposed to work for other types than strings, select works accidentally I suppose.

It is also typed wrong, I'll take a look at this over the weekend also.

If you want to use other types than strings you can either handle it yourself prior or there is a preprocessor callable parameter.

Yea I too noticed the typing there seems to be wrong... It states that a tuple of integers is an allowed type for the list's items. Why wasn't it simply List[str]?

Only god and I knew when it was written - now only god knows.

Thankfully God created Linus Torvalds that gave us Git, and Git should know?

BTW using preprocessor works great 👍 .

Git should know?

I skimmed blame, couldn't figure it out 🤷

Maybe it'd be nice if the select* functions would have also gave a nicer error message recommending preprocessor, if the options are a list in which some items are not strings.
