Creating new book results in TypeError

[jakedotio]

I'm having trouble trying to build a book:

  toc = {'Video': pe.get_sheet(records=video_results),
         'Collection': pe.get_sheet(records=collection_results),
         'Notes': pe.get_sheet(records=notes_results),
         'User': pe.get_sheet(records=user_results)}

  backup = pe.Book(toc)

Results in an TypeError:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./datatool.py", line 454, in <module>
    generate_backup(filename=filename, project=project)
  File "./datatool.py", line 198, in generate_backup
    backup = pe.Book(toc)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyexcel/book.py", line 40, in __init__
    self.init(sheets=sheets, filename=filename, path=path)

    self.load_from_sheets(sheets)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyexcel/book.py", line 64, in load_from_sheets
    sheet = Sheet(sheets[name], name)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyexcel/sheet.py", line 130, in init
    Matrix.__init__(self, sheet)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyexcel/internal/sheets/matrix.py", line 41, in __init__
    self.__width, self.__array = uniform(array)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyexcel/internal/sheets/matrix.py", line 805, in uniform
    width = longest_row_number(array)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyexcel/internal/sheets/matrix.py", line 793, in longest_row_number
    if len(array) > 0:
TypeError: object of type 'Sheet' has no len()

This is only happening when trying to build a book; running save_as on the individual get_sheet objects work fine and generate the expected output.

I have accepted your use case. Could you please try again with master branch?

pip install https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel/archive/master.zip

Thank you! I didn't realize it wasn't a supported case. The fix worked, and I appreciate you making the change!
