Description
I'm not sure of Panel is still being supported, but Panel.fillna() seems to ignore inplace=True:
In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: import pandas as pd
In [5]: p1 = pd.Panel([[[0,1],[2,np.nan]], [[10,11],[12,np.nan]]], items=['a','b'], minor_axis=['x','y'])
In [7]: p1['a']
Out[7]:
x y
0 0.0 1.0
1 2.0 NaN
In [8]: p1['b']
Out[8]:
x y
0 10.0 11.0
1 12.0 NaN
In [9]: p1.fillna(method='ffill', inplace=True)
Out[9]:
<class 'pandas.core.panel.Panel'>
Dimensions: 2 (items) x 2 (major_axis) x 2 (minor_axis)
Items axis: a to b
Major_axis axis: 0 to 1
Minor_axis axis: x to y
In [10]: p1['a']
Out[10]:
x y
0 0.0 1.0
1 2.0 NaN
In [11]: p1['b']
Out[11]:
x y
0 10.0 11.0
1 12.0 NaN
In [12]: p2 = p1.fillna(method='ffill', inplace=True)
In [13]: p2['a']
Out[13]:
x y
0 0.0 1.0
1 2.0 1.0
In [14]: p2['b']
Out[14]:
x y
0 10.0 11.0
1 12.0 11.0
In [15]: pd.show_versions()
