Pandas version checks

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

  • 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

import pandas as pd

series = pd.Series(
    ['a','b','c','d']
).astype(bytes)

series.shift(1)  # will fail with RecursionError

Issue Description

pandas.Series.shift() works for me in most cases, but not with the bytes datatype used in the example, or with numpy equivalent types (e.g. np.dtype('aN')).

Expected Behavior

series.shift(1) should return [None, 'a', 'b', 'c'] in the example, probably changing the dtype to object to accommodate None.
