Pandas version checks

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

pandas as pd

class MySeries(pd.Series):
    pass

class MyDataFrame(pd.DataFrame):
    @property
    def _constructor(self):
        return MyDataFrame
    _constructor_sliced = MySeries

MySeries._constructor_expanddim = MyDataFrame

df = MyDataFrame({"a": reversed(range(10)), "b": list('aaaabbbccc')})

assert isinstance(df.groupby("b").agg({"a": "sum"}), MyDataFrame)

Traceback

AssertionError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-e355635bac0a> in <cell line: 14>()
     12 df = MyDataFrame({"a": reversed(range(10)), "b": list('aaaabbbccc')})
     13 
---> 14 assert isinstance(df.groupby("b").agg({"a": "sum"}), MyDataFrame)

AssertionError: 

Issue Description

The df.groupby().agg() operation does not preserve subclass type. See this StackOverflow question for more details.

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior is that df.groupby().agg() would be the same class type as df.
