BUG: fully reindexing panel is incorrect when missing items · Issue #5905 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Fully reindexing a panel copies sub-frames when missing top-level items

IOW, this should have a nan frame for 'Item2'

In [1]: df = DataFrame(np.random.randn(4,3))
 [4]: p = Panel({ 'Item1' : df })

In [12]: p['Item2'] = np.nan

In [13]: p
Out[13]: 
<class 'pandas.core.panel.Panel'>
Dimensions: 2 (items) x 4 (major_axis) x 3 (minor_axis)
Items axis: Item1 to Item2
Major_axis axis: 0 to 3
Minor_axis axis: 0 to 2

In [5]:  items = ['Item1','Item2']

In [8]: major_axis = np.arange(4)

In [9]: minor_axis = np.arange(3)

In [10]: result = p.reindex(items=items,major_axis=major_axis,minor_axis=minor_axis)

In [11]: result.ix['Item2']
Out[11]:
