BUG: DataFrame.loc[*, label] fails with IntervalIndex

[jschendel]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

Setup:

In [2]: ii = pd.interval_range(0, 4)

In [3]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.arange(12).reshape(4, 3), index=ii, columns=list('ABC'))

In [4]: df
Out[4]:
        A   B   C
(0, 1]  0   1   2
(1, 2]  3   4   5
(2, 3]  6   7   8
(3, 4]  9  10  11

Scalar and Interval objects raise an AttributeError:

In [5]: df.loc[0.5, 'A']
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError: 'pandas._libs.interval.IntervalTree' object has no attribute 'get_value'

In [6]: df.loc[pd.Interval(0, 1), 'A']
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError: 'pandas._libs.interval.IntervalTree' object has no attribute 'get_value'

It works fine if column labels aren't passed, or if a list-like is passed:

In [7]: df.loc[0.5]
Out[7]:
A    0
B    1
C    2
Name: (0, 1], dtype: int32

In [8]: df.loc[pd.Interval(0, 1)]
Out[8]:
A    0
B    1
C    2
Name: (0, 1], dtype: int32

In [9]: df.loc[0.5, ['A']]
Out[9]:
A    0
Name: (0, 1], dtype: int32

In [10]: df.loc[pd.Interval(0, 1), ['B', 'C']]
Out[10]:
B    1
C    2
Name: (0, 1], dtype: int32

Problem description

Indexing with loc fails.

Expected Output

I'd expect loc to return the appropriate value.

Output of pd.show_versions()

Indexing with IntervalIndex is unusual, but this indeed should not crash. Patch and PR are welcome!

Hi, I'm going to work on this issue this weekend.
