table_regions kwarg throws an ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 4)

tables = camelot.read_pdf('sberbank_statement.pdf', flavor='stream', pages='1-end', table_regions=['168,145,568,740'])

where
168 = Left,
145 = Top
568 = Left + Width
740 = Top + Height

`/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/camelot/parsers/stream.py in _generate_table_bbox(self)
287 hor_text = []
288 for region in self.table_regions:
--> 289 x1, y1, x2, y2 = region
290 region_text = text_in_bbox((x1, y2, x2, y1), self.horizontal_text)
291 hor_text.extend(region_text)

I get the same error.
Don't know why, but with flavor='lattice', I don't get this error.

scamelot\parsers\stream.py line 289

my code:

tables = cm.read_pdf(file, pages='1',flavor='stream', table_regions=['9,8,7,6'])
valueError: too many values to unpack (expected 4)

I know why this is happening. From the traceback, the region string is not being split like an area is being split (you can see it not too down below). We just need to convert it to region.split(','). I'll push a fix tonight.

@vinayak-mehta - did you manage to push that fix in the end?

[vinayak-mehta]

I remember creating a branch and adding that fix, but it clearly isn't in master or in the PRs. Let me push it today.

Thanks for the bug report @eldarvagapov!
