Hello,

We are having problems regarding to load data to Kepler maps, we are getting always the same kind of error:

TypeError: argument of type 'method' is not iterable

But we are having such a problem since a few weeks ago, could you help us to find the solution?, it is a matter of a new kepler version?

@lixun910 can confirm it's a bug introduced in version 0.3.5. I will try to fix it. Thanks for reporting this!

I've noticed this issue as well @lixun910 I think it is because the normalize_data was removed from KeplerGl.add_data that converts geodataframes to json. So now only json or csv string are supported inputs to add_data

This notebook reproduces the issue. I have a dev environment built and am working on a fix
