BUG: series update (original) (raw)

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(dict((c, [1,2,3]) for c in ['a', 'b', 'c'])) df.set_index(['a', 'b', 'c'], inplace=True) s = pd.Series([1], index=[(2,2,2)]) df['val'] = 0 df df['val'].update(s) df

on my machine (pandas 0.11.1.dev-45d298d, linux) i get the rather unexpected output

                       val
a b c
1 1 1                    0
2 2 2  4607182418800017408
3 3 3                    0
