Global attributes of type float64? #9

Closed pl-ki closed 6 years ago

pl-ki commented 6 years ago

Seems that global attributes can only be string. Is this on purpose? I think we could allow also float64 like row/col attrs.

Yes, sure.

Only 'str' attributes are utf8-encoded at storing, others unencoded. All 'bytes' attributes are utf8-decoded when retrieved.
