[] (getitem) boolean indexing assignment bug with nans · Issue #9731 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

See repro below:

import pandas as pd import numpy as np

temp = pd.Series(np.random.randn(10)) temp[3:6] = np.nan temp[8] = np.nan nan_index = np.isnan(temp)

this works

temp1 = temp.copy() temp1[nan_index] = [99, 99, 99, 99] temp1[nan_index]

3 99 4 99 5 99 8 99 dtype: float64

this doesn't - values look like they're being assigned in a different order?

temp2 = temp.copy() temp2[nan_index] = [99, 99, 99, np.nan]

3 NaN 4 99 5 99 8 99 dtype: float64

... but it works properly when using .loc

temp2 = temp.copy() temp2.loc[nan_index] = [99, 99, 99, np.nan]

3 99 4 99 5 99 8 NaN dtype: float64
