Message posting with File URL isn't working....

[brbester]

Not sure if it is on my end, but when I pass a URL the script bombs. Tried both as a string and a string in a list....

test_url="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Cisco_logo.svg/375px-Cisco_logo.svg.png"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testapi.py", line 37, in <module>
    message = api.messages.create(room.id,None,None,None,None,test_url)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ciscosparkapi/api/messages.py", line 217, in create
    assert files is None or isinstance(files, list)
AssertionError

Brad, thank you for reporting this. I have fixed the issue. It was simply a matter of the 'files' parameter not being treated as a list as it should be. It is fixed in v0.1.2, which has been posted to PyPI.
