BUG: str.cat produces NaNs when others is an Index · Issue #33425 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pandas as pd print(pd.version)

sr = pd.Series(['a','b','c','d','e']) others = pd.Index(['a','b','c','d','e'])

result = sr.str.cat(others=others) print(result)

1.0.3 0 NaN 1 NaN 2 NaN 3 NaN 4 NaN dtype: object

Problem description

The result should be the same as when others is a list or numpy array with the same values. The result is correct for pandas < 1.0.

Expected Output

0    aa
1    bb
2    cc
3    dd
4    ee
dtype: object

Output of pd.show_versions()
