Description

@MarcosCarreira
  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

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

  • (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.


Note: Please read this guide detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

# Imports
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

# Values
nsteps = 5*10**6
sv = np.random.normal(loc=100.0, scale=1.0, size=nsteps+1)

# Series with int index
se = pd.Series(sv)

# Series with float index
flind = np.arange(nsteps+1)/nsteps
sef = pd.Series(sv, index=flind)

# Group with int index works
seg = se.groupby(level=0).last()

# Group with float index and size<1000000 works
sefg = sef.iloc[:999999].groupby(level=0).last()

# Group with float index and size>=1000000 doesn't work
sefg2 = sef.iloc[:1000000].groupby(level=0).last()

Problem description

Series.groupby returns an error if index is float and size is >= 1000000 (no problem with this size if index is int):

File "pandas/_libs/index.pyx", line 345, in pandas._libs.index._bin_search
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'NoneType'

Expected Output

sefg2 should be similar to sefg (with one additional row)
