Description
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
df = pd.DataFrame({'A' : ['foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'bar'], 'B' : [1, 2, 3, 4]})
grouped = df.groupby('A')
print(grouped.apply(lambda x: x))
grouped.first()
print(grouped.apply(lambda x: x))
Output:
A B
0 foo 1
1 bar 2
2 foo 3
3 bar 4
B
0 1
1 2
2 3
3 4
Problem description
The invoking method, without re-assignment of result or specifying that it should work in place, should not affect the object upon which it is being called.
Expected Output
A B
0 foo 1
1 bar 2
2 foo 3
3 bar 4
A B
0 foo 1
1 bar 2
2 foo 3
3 bar 4
