    A Grouper allows the user to specify a groupby instruction for a target
    object

    This specification will select a column via the key parameter, or if the
    level and/or axis parameters are given, a level of the index of the target
    object.

    These are local specifications and will override 'global' settings,
    that is the parameters axis and level which are passed to the groupby
    itself.

    Parameters
    ----------
    key : string, defaults to None
        groupby key, which selects the grouping column of the target
    level : name/number, defaults to None
        the level for the target index
    freq : string / frequency object, defaults to None
        This will groupby the specified frequency if the target selection
        (via key or level) is a datetime-like object. For full specification
        of available frequencies, please see
        `here <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/timeseries.html>`_.
    axis : number/name of the axis, defaults to 0
    sort : boolean, default to False
        whether to sort the resulting labels

    additional kwargs to control time-like groupers (when freq is passed)

    closed : closed end of interval; left or right
    label : interval boundary to use for labeling; left or right
    convention : {'start', 'end', 'e', 's'}
        If grouper is PeriodIndex

    Returns
    -------
    A specification for a groupby instruction

    Examples
    --------

    Syntactic sugar for ``df.groupby('A')``

    >>> df.groupby(Grouper(key='A'))

    Specify a resample operation on the column 'date'

    >>> df.groupby(Grouper(key='date', freq='60s'))

    Specify a resample operation on the level 'date' on the columns axis

class GroupBy(_GroupBy):

    """
    Class for grouping and aggregating relational data. See aggregate,
    transform, and apply functions on this object.

    It's easiest to use obj.groupby(...) to use GroupBy, but you can also do:

    ::

        grouped = groupby(obj, ...)

    Parameters
    ----------
    obj : pandas object
    axis : int, default 0
    level : int, default None
        Level of MultiIndex
    groupings : list of Grouping objects
        Most users should ignore this
    exclusions : array-like, optional
        List of columns to exclude
    name : string
        Most users should ignore this

    Notes
    -----
    After grouping, see aggregate, apply, and transform functions. Here are
    some other brief notes about usage. When grouping by multiple groups, the
    result index will be a MultiIndex (hierarchical) by default.

    Iteration produces (key, group) tuples, i.e. chunking the data by group. So
    you can write code like:

    ::

        grouped = obj.groupby(keys, axis=axis)
        for key, group in grouped:
            # do something with the data

    Function calls on GroupBy, if not specially implemented, "dispatch" to the
    grouped data. So if you group a DataFrame and wish to invoke the std()
    method on each group, you can simply do:

    ::

        df.groupby(mapper).std()

    rather than

    ::

        df.groupby(mapper).aggregate(np.std)

    You can pass arguments to these "wrapped" functions, too.

    See the online documentation for full exposition on these topics and much
    more
