What's new in 0.23.2 (July 5, 2018)
-----------------------------------

{{ header }}


This is a minor bug-fix release in the 0.23.x series and includes some small regression fixes
and bug fixes. We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.

.. note::

   pandas 0.23.2 is first pandas release that's compatible with
   Python 3.7 (:issue:`20552`)

.. warning::

   Starting January 1, 2019, pandas feature releases will support Python 3 only.
   See `Dropping Python 2.7 <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.24/install.html#install-dropping-27>`_ for more.

.. _whatsnew_0232.enhancements:

Logical reductions over entire DataFrame
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

:meth:`DataFrame.all` and :meth:`DataFrame.any` now accept ``axis=None`` to reduce over all axes to a scalar (:issue:`19976`)

.. ipython:: python

   df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2], "B": [True, False]})
   df.all(axis=None)


This also provides compatibility with NumPy 1.15, which now dispatches to ``DataFrame.all``.
With NumPy 1.15 and pandas 0.23.1 or earlier, :func:`numpy.all` will no longer reduce over every axis:

.. code-block:: python

   >>> # NumPy 1.15, pandas 0.23.1
   >>> np.any(pd.DataFrame({"A": [False], "B": [False]}))
   A    False
   B    False
   dtype: bool

With pandas 0.23.2, that will correctly return False, as it did with NumPy < 1.15.

.. ipython:: python

   np.any(pd.DataFrame({"A": [False], "B": [False]}))


.. _whatsnew_0232.fixed_regressions:

Fixed regressions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Fixed regression in :meth:`to_csv` when handling file-like object incorrectly (:issue:`21471`)
- Re-allowed duplicate level names of a ``MultiIndex``. Accessing a level that has a duplicate name by name still raises an error (:issue:`19029`).
- Bug in both :meth:`DataFrame.first_valid_index` and :meth:`Series.first_valid_index` raised for a row index having duplicate values (:issue:`21441`)
- Fixed printing of DataFrames with hierarchical columns with long names (:issue:`21180`)
- Fixed regression in :meth:`~DataFrame.reindex` and :meth:`~DataFrame.groupby`
  with a MultiIndex or multiple keys that contains categorical datetime-like values (:issue:`21390`).
- Fixed regression in unary negative operations with object dtype (:issue:`21380`)
- Bug in :meth:`Timestamp.ceil` and :meth:`Timestamp.floor` when timestamp is a multiple of the rounding frequency (:issue:`21262`)
- Fixed regression in :func:`to_clipboard` that defaulted to copying dataframes with space delimited instead of tab delimited (:issue:`21104`)


Build changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- The source and binary distributions no longer include test data files, resulting in smaller download sizes. Tests relying on these data files will be skipped when using ``pandas.test()``. (:issue:`19320`)

.. _whatsnew_0232.bug_fixes:

Bug fixes
~~~~~~~~~

**Conversion**

- Bug in constructing :class:`Index` with an iterator or generator (:issue:`21470`)
- Bug in :meth:`Series.nlargest` for signed and unsigned integer dtypes when the minimum value is present (:issue:`21426`)

**Indexing**

- Bug in :meth:`Index.get_indexer_non_unique` with categorical key (:issue:`21448`)
- Bug in comparison operations for :class:`MultiIndex` where error was raised on equality / inequality comparison involving a MultiIndex with ``nlevels == 1`` (:issue:`21149`)
- Bug in :meth:`DataFrame.drop` behaviour is not consistent for unique and non-unique indexes (:issue:`21494`)
- Bug in :func:`DataFrame.duplicated` with a large number of columns causing a 'maximum recursion depth exceeded' (:issue:`21524`).

**I/O**

- Bug in :func:`read_csv` that caused it to incorrectly raise an error when ``nrows=0``, ``low_memory=True``, and ``index_col`` was not ``None`` (:issue:`21141`)
- Bug in :func:`json_normalize` when formatting the ``record_prefix`` with integer columns (:issue:`21536`)

**Categorical**

- Bug in rendering :class:`Series` with ``Categorical`` dtype in rare conditions under Python 2.7 (:issue:`21002`)

**Timezones**

- Bug in :class:`Timestamp` and :class:`DatetimeIndex` where passing a :class:`Timestamp` localized after a DST transition would return a datetime before the DST transition (:issue:`20854`)
- Bug in comparing :class:`DataFrame` with tz-aware :class:`DatetimeIndex` columns with a DST transition that raised a ``KeyError`` (:issue:`19970`)
- Bug in :meth:`DatetimeIndex.shift` where an ``AssertionError`` would raise when shifting across DST (:issue:`8616`)
- Bug in :class:`Timestamp` constructor where passing an invalid timezone offset designator (``Z``) would not raise a ``ValueError`` (:issue:`8910`)
- Bug in :meth:`Timestamp.replace` where replacing at a DST boundary would retain an incorrect offset (:issue:`7825`)
- Bug in :meth:`DatetimeIndex.reindex` when reindexing a tz-naive and tz-aware :class:`DatetimeIndex` (:issue:`8306`)
- Bug in :meth:`DatetimeIndex.resample` when downsampling across a DST boundary (:issue:`8531`)

**Timedelta**

- Bug in :class:`Timedelta` where non-zero timedeltas shorter than 1 microsecond were considered False (:issue:`21484`)
