Float in nested tuple[dict] gets converted to string

[elya5]

I have the variable ranks = ({'name': 'abc', 'score': 3.4},). The score gets converted into a string by django-unicorn even though it is a float. Type hints like tuple[dict[str, str|float]] or even tuple[dict[str, float] do not have an effect.

(Background seems to be described here: #82)

A minimal example would look like this:

class SortTableView(UnicornView):
    ranks: tuple[dict[str,float|str]] = ()

    def mount(self):
        self.ranks = ({'name': 'abc', 'score': 3.4},)

    def button_click(self):
        self.ranks = tuple(sorted(self.rank, key=lambda row: row['score'])
        # wrong sort order here because the score is a string not a float

Thanks for the bug report! I can try to handle nested types like this I think. 👍 Will let you know what I come up with.

One idea I had is to prefix all floats when converting them to a string. It seems to work but I don't know if this is something you'd go along with.
