Hello. Thanks for reporting the issue. I wanted to implement the fix differently. Your update would've failed the flake8 verification check. The fix for handling expiry has been implemented in 8471ef1.

Hello @mdmintz, you're welcome!
Your fix did not solve the issue I mentioned with __get_type_checked_text, I didn't scan the full codebase for similar bugs too, but you'd know better all the places where you maybe check for bool vs integer types.

Btw I wouldn't mind applying any needed change if you could've pointed out what you'd like to be done differently in the PR, you'd have less things to implement on your own and more people contributing to the project and learning from the experience, the project and from yourself!

__get_type_checked_text() is just for string inputs.
It will convert True to "True" and False to "False", as expected.

As for contributions, we've mostly moved to the policy of https://github.com/readme/featured/how-open-is-open-source, with some special exceptions. ("Open-Source, not Open-Contribution"). We still welcome feedback, issue tickets, discussions, etc, but are very picky about outside contributions, as that takes a lot of extra time, which I don't have much of due to a full-time job, etc. If you think you see an issue, it's best to report it, rather than try to create a PR.

@mdmintz For __get_type_checked_text(), then this block could be removed from the function:

 elif isinstance(text, bool):
 raise Exception("text must be a string! Boolean found!")

For contributions, good to know, in all cases it's great work you'll pulling up here.

Valid point on the True being both a bool and an int, but I may just leave it in there so that people who don't realize it don't complain that it's not being checked for, event though True and False will get converted to strings in actuality. It's a rare case that would either have to throw an exception, or just convert to text as it does to avoid the exception.
