What problem was encountered?

If you call TableService.insert_entity with an entity that has RowKey or PartitionKey that is not str (in my case I used an int), a AzureHttpError: Bad Request ... InvalidInput ... One of the request inputs is not valid is raised. Turns out this is because RowKey or PartitionKey has to be str.

This took me a while to figure out, because I'd previously uploaded these entities using TableService.insert_or_merge_entity, which works fine! Turns out this method does handle casting the keys to str.
