[Bug]: Python API with namespace parameter

Steps to Reproduce

If you use the python API to get path information using this code, for example, it gives an error.


path_tbl = get_sqobject('path')
path_df = path_tbl().get(src='1.1.1.1', dest='6.6.6.6', namespace='my_ns')

print(path_df)

The code expects the namespace argument as a list instead of a string. It would be good to get an error message that indicates this behaviour. This is the error we get at the moment.

  File "/Users/sureshv/Documents/python/suzieq_project/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/suzieq/engines/pandas/path.py", line 54, in _init_dfs
    raise EmptyDataframeError
suzieq.shared.exceptions.EmptyDataframeError

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/sureshv/Documents/python/suzieq_project/path_example.py", line 4, in <module>
    path_df = path_tbl().get(src='1.1.1.1', dest='6.6.6.6', namespace='my_ns')

  File "/Users/sureshv/Documents/python/suzieq_project/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/suzieq/sqobjects/basicobj.py", line 226, in get
    result = self.engine.get(**kwargs, columns=columns)
  File "/Users/sureshv/Documents/python/suzieq_project/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/suzieq/engines/pandas/path.py", line 800, in get

    raise EmptyDataframeError(
suzieq.shared.exceptions.EmptyDataframeError: No interface information found for ['m']

Expected Behavior

The script should work even if we pass it as a string or an error message that indicates this problem.

Observed Behavior

we need to pass the namespace as a list
