BUG: Series.is_unique does not consider single occurrences of NaN unique · Issue #25180 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

On master:

In [1]: import numpy as np; import pandas as pd; pd.version Out[1]: '0.25.0.dev0+67.gf04bb2fc9'

In [2]: pd.Series(['foo', 'bar', np.nan]).is_unique Out[2]: False

In [3]: pd.Series([np.nan]).is_unique Out[3]: False

Note that indexes consider the equivalent cases to be unique:

In [4]: pd.Index(['foo', 'bar', np.nan]).is_unique Out[4]: True

In [5]: pd.Float64Index([np.nan]).is_unique Out[5]: True

Problem description

Series.is_unique does not consider single occurrences of NaN to be unique.

Expected Output

I'd expect [2] and [3] to be True.

Output of pd.show_versions()
