Google Analytics Segments are now strings

[sk8asd123]

Since the advanced segment changes Google has rolled out, Google Analytics segments are now alphanumeric instead of integers. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtReference/management/segments

When I run:

from pandas.io.ga import GAnalytics
gAnalytics = GAnalytics()
gAnalytics.create_query(‘web_id’, ‘pageviews’, ’2013-08-12′,’2013-08-14′, ‘date’,             segment='A1B234').execute().get(‘containsSampledData’)

I get the following error:
returned "Invalid value 'ga:A1B234' for segment parameter.">, invalidating data!

I believe that if the segment is not dynamic, Pandas is expecting an integer only.

I believe we've now resolved this on current master thanks to @jcbozonier and #5271. We're almost at a release candidate for 0.13 (just one small feature request to wrap up), so if you want to work off of pandas' master, it should be completely or entirely stable.

The other option is to manually edit pandas/io/ga.py in site-packages and add in the changes from #5271.

Thanks for the bug report - we always appreciate them! Please close this issue if your problem is resolved.
