@tjragan that's very odd to do anyhow. Supported for nested data structues is very limited, especially with indexing operations. |

@tjragan what version of pandas are you using where this actually works? it doesn't work in >=0.14.1 |

it broke when I installed 0.16.1, but works in 0.16.0 On 27 May 2015, at 20:56, jreback <[email protected]mailto:[email protected]> wrote: @tjraganhttps://github.com/tjragan what version of pandas are you using where this actually works? it doesn't work in >=0.14.1 — |
