Seaborn: Using set with color_palette() output fails

[vinay-jayaram]

When creating a color palette using the color_palette() function, an error is thrown in 0.9.0 when trying to pass the output to sns.set(). MWE:

import seaborn as sns

pal = sns.color_palette("husl")
sns.set(palette=pal)

This appears to be for all named palettes

I think that's a bug. Can be worked around right now by adding color_codes=False.
