Python - Coinbase Pro API - no execution or return on market order

I am using the coinbase pro API and when trying to place a market order, this does not execute, or return any text based on the docs.

# Modules

import env
import cbpro

# API Details

APIKey = env.APIKey 
APISecret = env.APISecret
APIPass = env.APIPass 
BTCID = env.BTCID 
client = cbpro.AuthenticatedClient(APIKey, APISecret, APIPass)

def test1():

    client.buy(product_id='BTC-GBP', order_type="market",funds=5.00)

test1()

def test2():

    client.place_market_order(product_id='BTC-GBP',side='buy',funds=5.00)

test2()

I have tried 2 different methods - but still the same result. Does anybody have any experience with this module?

The other commentor is correct. For whatever reason (likely due to the significance of decimal places in each idiosyncratic token/coin), possibly due to the fact that floats aren't exact which could create problems, or due to laziness in creating the python wrapper; the Coinbase Pro API in Python almost always takes what look like integers and floats as strings.

def test1():

    client.buy(product_id='BTC-GBP', order_type="market",funds='5.00')

I believe funds should be a string, funds='5.00'.
