Description of expected behavior and the observed behavior
As described at discourse, when trying to visualize Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data (SRTM, https://dwtkns.com/srtm30m/), the units come as a python tuple:
data = xr.open_rasterio("some.hgt")
data.units
When trying to hvplot this, data.sel(band=1).hvplot.image(), this yielded an error:
.../python3.9/site-packages/param/parameterized.py in _validate(self, val)
1023
1024 if not isinstance(val, basestring):
-> 1025 raise ValueError("String '%s' only takes a string value."%self.name)
1026
1027 if self.regex is not None and re.match(self.regex, val) is None:
ValueError: String 'unit' only takes a string value.
