BUG: np.min(pd.Index) and np.max(pd.Index) raise a TypeError · Issue #26125 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

In [1]: import numpy as np; import pandas as pd

In [2]: np.version, pd.version Out[2]: ('1.16.2', '0.25.0.dev0+421.g8b60ebb359')

In [3]: idx = pd.Index([10, 20, 11]); idx Out[3]: Int64Index([10, 20, 11], dtype='int64')

In [4]: np.min(idx)

TypeError: min() got an unexpected keyword argument 'out'

In [5]: np.max(idx)

TypeError: max() got an unexpected keyword argument 'out'

Note that other numpy functions work fine:

In [6]: np.sum(idx), np.prod(idx), np.argmax(idx), np.argmin(idx) Out[6]: (41, 2200, 1, 0)

And np.min and np.max work on other pandas data structures:

In [7]: s = pd.Series([10, 20, 11])

In [8]: np.min(s), np.max(s) Out[8]: (10, 20)

In [9]: df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [10, 20, 11], 'B': [3, 1, 4]})

In [10]: np.min(df) Out[10]: A 10 B 1 dtype: int64

In [11]: np.max(df) Out[11]: A 20 B 4 dtype: int64

Problem description

Both np.min and np.max raise a TypeError when applied to a pd.Index. Using pd.Index.min and pd.Index.max is more idiomatic for pandas, but using the numpy equivalent functions should work, as they do for other pandas data structures.

Expected Output

I'd expect np.min(pd.Index) and np.max(pd.Index) to be equivalent to pd.Index.min and pd.Index.max, as is the case with other pandas data structures.

Output of pd.show_versions()
