pyBedTools.BedTools.intersect() not working on dataframe

Question

[fr]

I am trying to do an intersect using pybedtools. Dataframe b was converted from pandas df to a .bed format by running my_b=pybedtools.BedTool.from_dataframe(my_b_df). I am then intersecting it with an existing .bed file that was imported using my_a=pybedtools.BedTool(/my/dir/file.bed). However, when I run my_a.intersect(my_b, loj=True) I get the following error:

BEDToolsError                             Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 my_a.intersect(my_b, loj=True)

BEDToolsError: 
Command was:

    bedtools intersect -loj -b /some/dir/pybedtools.4tw53oln.tmp -a /my/dir/file.bed

Error message was:
Error: unable to open file or unable to determine types for file /some/dir/pybedtools.4tw53oln.tmp

- Please ensure that your file is TAB delimited (e.g., cat -t FILE).
- Also ensure that your file has integer chromosome coordinates in the 
  expected columns (e.g., cols 2 and 3 for BED).

Note that everything looks well when I run head /some/dir/pybedtools.4tw53oln.tmp

#Output (yes, there is a column with `True`)
chr1    3250000 3300000 True
chr1    4050000 4100000 True
chr1    4450000 4500000 True
chr1    4500000 4550000 True

What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?

Thanks a lot in advance
