this leads the user to believe that object types are ok; I think you previous solution (of raising) is better as it has a failure that is more obvious

@wesm ?

i like the raise too since if you have plottable series that are not numeric you should convert, but @wesm gave the raise-on-object a strong 👎 in #3911 .

oh I see

ok maybe do the conversion if needed (and warn if u can do the conversion but let it proceed - PerformanceWarning)
and raise like u do now (if u can't convert it)

shouldn't this import from io.common ?

in fact PerformanceWarning be a more general import location
maybe pandas.utils.misc ?

(as I think using this elsewhere)
