the reason why I skipped isupper() check is anyway it requires upper() in the case of lower/mixed case. Though it may cause some extra overhead for PyMem_Malloc, it should not that large so I simplified the process.

This looks great! Would you mind adding a test for this too though, since the bug must have slipped through with the existing tests?

@daniel-sanche I added a small unit test to check if Batch#commit() can properly convert severity strings.

You can ignore the environment test failures. It looks like I need to upgrade the pandas version there, I'll address that in a separate PR

It looks like there's a lint issue on the Kokoro check before this can be merged though

I just ran nox and the result was the following (my local doesn't have Python 3.7, so unit-3.7 didn't run):

nox > Session docs was successful.
nox > Ran multiple sessions:
nox > * unit-3.7: failed
nox > * unit-3.8: success
nox > * unit-3.9: success
nox > * unit-3.10: success
nox > * unit-3.11: success
nox > * system-3.8: success
nox > * cover: success
nox > * lint: success
nox > * lint_setup_py: success
nox > * blacken: success
nox > * docs: success

I hope this fix works.

looks great, thanks!
