Description
Because the 13.1 shift uses .values
, it will upcast mixed dtypes to object.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import pandas.util.testing as tm
data = [('item '+ch, tm.makeMixedDataFrame()) for ch in list('abcde')]
data = dict(data)
mixed_panel = pd.Panel.from_dict(data, orient='minor')
shifted = mixed_panel.shift(1)
tm.assert_series_equal(mixed_panel.dtypes, shifted.dtypes) #fails
Have PR for this.
