Initialization of Series from dict disregards np.nan key · Issue #18480 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

In [2]: pd.Series({1: 1, np.nan: 2, 2: 3}) Out[2]: NaN NaN 1.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 dtype: float64

Problem description

While users could maybe live with this (although #17648 is related), we pass data through dicts so often in our codebase (e.g. #18455 ) that we probably need to support this.

Expected Output

In [2]: pd.Series({1: 1, np.nan: 2, 2: 3}) Out[2]: NaN 2 1.0 1 2.0 3 dtype: int64

Output of pd.show_versions()
