Enhancements¶
GroupBy aggregation with relabeling¶
pandas has added special groupby behavior, known as “named aggregation”, for naming the output columns when applying multiple aggregation functions to specific columns (GH18366, GH26512).
In [1]: animals = pd.DataFrame({'kind': ['cat', 'dog', 'cat', 'dog'],
...: 'height': [9.1, 6.0, 9.5, 34.0],
...: 'weight': [7.9, 7.5, 9.9, 198.0]})
...:
In [2]: animals
Out[2]:
kind height weight
0 cat 9.1 7.9
1 dog 6.0 7.5
2 cat 9.5 9.9
3 dog 34.0 198.0
In [3]: animals.groupby("kind").agg(
...: min_height=pd.NamedAgg(column='height', aggfunc='min'),
...: max_height=pd.NamedAgg(column='height', aggfunc='max'),
...: average_weight=pd.NamedAgg(column='weight', aggfunc=np.mean),
...: )
...:
Out[3]:
min_height max_height average_weight
kind
cat 9.1 9.5 8.90
dog 6.0 34.0 102.75
Pass the desired columns names as the **kwargs
to .agg
. The values of **kwargs
should be tuples where the first element is the column selection, and the second element is the
aggregation function to apply. pandas provides the pandas.NamedAgg
namedtuple to make it clearer
what the arguments to the function are, but plain tuples are accepted as well.
In [4]: animals.groupby("kind").agg(
...: min_height=('height', 'min'),
...: max_height=('height', 'max'),
...: average_weight=('weight', np.mean),
...: )
...:
Out[4]:
min_height max_height average_weight
kind
cat 9.1 9.5 8.90
dog 6.0 34.0 102.75
Named aggregation is the recommended replacement for the deprecated “dict-of-dicts” approach to naming the output of column-specific aggregations (Deprecate groupby.agg() with a dictionary when renaming).
A similar approach is now available for Series groupby objects as well. Because there’s no need for column selection, the values can just be the functions to apply
In [5]: animals.groupby("kind").height.agg(
...: min_height="min",
...: max_height="max",
...: )
...:
Out[5]:
min_height max_height
kind
cat 9.1 9.5
dog 6.0 34.0
This type of aggregation is the recommended alternative to the deprecated behavior when passing a dict to a Series groupby aggregation (Deprecate groupby.agg() with a dictionary when renaming).
See Named aggregation for more.
GroupBy aggregation with multiple lambdas¶
You can now provide multiple lambda functions to a list-like aggregation in
pandas.core.groupby.GroupBy.agg
(GH26430).
In [6]: animals.groupby('kind').height.agg([
...: lambda x: x.iloc[0], lambda x: x.iloc[-1]
...: ])
...:
Out[6]:
<lambda_0> <lambda_1>
kind
cat 9.1 9.5
dog 6.0 34.0
In [7]: animals.groupby('kind').agg([
...: lambda x: x.iloc[0] - x.iloc[1],
...: lambda x: x.iloc[0] + x.iloc[1]
...: ])
...:
Out[7]:
height weight
<lambda_0> <lambda_1> <lambda_0> <lambda_1>
kind
cat -0.4 18.6 -2.0 17.8
dog -28.0 40.0 -190.5 205.5
Previously, these raised a SpecificationError
.
Better repr for MultiIndex¶
Printing of MultiIndex
instances now shows tuples of each row and ensures
that the tuple items are vertically aligned, so it’s now easier to understand
the structure of the MultiIndex
. (GH13480):
The repr now looks like this:
In [8]: pd.MultiIndex.from_product([['a', 'abc'], range(500)])
Out[8]:
MultiIndex([( 'a', 0),
( 'a', 1),
( 'a', 2),
( 'a', 3),
( 'a', 4),
( 'a', 5),
( 'a', 6),
( 'a', 7),
( 'a', 8),
( 'a', 9),
...
('abc', 490),
('abc', 491),
('abc', 492),
('abc', 493),
('abc', 494),
('abc', 495),
('abc', 496),
('abc', 497),
('abc', 498),
('abc', 499)],
length=1000)
Previously, outputting a MultiIndex
printed all the levels
and
codes
of the MultiIndex
, which was visually unappealing and made
the output more difficult to navigate. For example (limiting the range to 5):
In [1]: pd.MultiIndex.from_product([['a', 'abc'], range(5)])
Out[1]: MultiIndex(levels=[['a', 'abc'], [0, 1, 2, 3]],
...: codes=[[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1], [0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3]])
In the new repr, all values will be shown, if the number of rows is smaller
than options.display.max_seq_items
(default: 100 items). Horizontally,
the output will truncate, if it’s wider than options.display.width
(default: 80 characters).
Shorter truncated repr for Series and DataFrame¶
Currently, the default display options of pandas ensure that when a Series
or DataFrame has more than 60 rows, its repr gets truncated to this maximum
of 60 rows (the display.max_rows
option). However, this still gives
a repr that takes up a large part of the vertical screen estate. Therefore,
a new option display.min_rows
is introduced with a default of 10 which
determines the number of rows showed in the truncated repr:
For small Series or DataFrames, up to
max_rows
number of rows is shown (default: 60).For larger Series of DataFrame with a length above
max_rows
, onlymin_rows
number of rows is shown (default: 10, i.e. the first and last 5 rows).
This dual option allows to still see the full content of relatively small
objects (e.g. df.head(20)
shows all 20 rows), while giving a brief repr
for large objects.
To restore the previous behaviour of a single threshold, set
pd.options.display.min_rows = None
.
JSON normalize with max_level param support¶
json_normalize()
normalizes the provided input dict to all
nested levels. The new max_level parameter provides more control over
which level to end normalization (GH23843):
The repr now looks like this:
from pandas.io.json import json_normalize
data = [{
'CreatedBy': {'Name': 'User001'},
'Lookup': {'TextField': 'Some text',
'UserField': {'Id': 'ID001', 'Name': 'Name001'}},
'Image': {'a': 'b'}
}]
json_normalize(data, max_level=1)
Series.explode to split list-like values to rows¶
Series
and DataFrame
have gained the DataFrame.explode()
methods to transform list-likes to individual rows. See section on Exploding list-like column in docs for more information (GH16538, GH10511)
Here is a typical usecase. You have comma separated string in a column.
In [9]: df = pd.DataFrame([{'var1': 'a,b,c', 'var2': 1},
...: {'var1': 'd,e,f', 'var2': 2}])
...:
In [10]: df
Out[10]:
var1 var2
0 a,b,c 1
1 d,e,f 2
Creating a long form DataFrame
is now straightforward using chained operations
In [11]: df.assign(var1=df.var1.str.split(',')).explode('var1')
Out[11]:
var1 var2
0 a 1
0 b 1
0 c 1
1 d 2
1 e 2
1 f 2

supports multiple opening hours intervals (GH15481)read_excel()
can now useopenpyxl
to read Excel files via theengine='openpyxl'
argument. This will become the default in a future release (GH11499)pandas.io.excel.read_excel()
supports reading OpenDocument tables. Specifyengine='odf'
to enable. Consult the IO User Guide for more details (GH9070)Interval
,IntervalIndex
, andIntervalArray
have gained anis_empty
attribute denoting if the given interval(s) are empty (GH27219)
Backwards incompatible API changes¶
Indexing with date strings with UTC offsets¶
Indexing a DataFrame
or Series
with a DatetimeIndex
with a
date string with a UTC offset would previously ignore the UTC offset. Now, the UTC offset
is respected in indexing. (GH24076, GH16785)
In [12]: df = pd.DataFrame([0], index=pd.DatetimeIndex(['2019-01-01'], tz='US/Pacific'))
In [13]: df
Out[13]:
0
2019-01-01 00:00:00-08:00 0
Previous behavior:
In [3]: df['2019-01-01 00:00:00+04:00':'2019-01-01 01:00:00+04:00']
Out[3]:
0
2019-01-01 00:00:00-08:00 0
New behavior:
In [14]: df['2019-01-01 12:00:00+04:00':'2019-01-01 13:00:00+04:00']
Out[14]:
0
2019-01-01 00:00:00-08:00 0
MultiIndex
constructed from levels and codes¶
Constructing a MultiIndex
with NaN
levels or codes value < -1 was allowed previously.
Now, construction with codes value < -1 is not allowed and NaN
levels’ corresponding codes
would be reassigned as -1. (GH19387)
Previous behavior:
In [1]: pd.MultiIndex(levels=[[np.nan, None, pd.NaT, 128, 2]],
...: codes=[[0, -1, 1, 2, 3, 4]])
...:
Out[1]: MultiIndex(levels=[[nan, None, NaT, 128, 2]],
codes=[[0, -1, 1, 2, 3, 4]])
In [2]: pd.MultiIndex(levels=[[1, 2]], codes=[[0, -2]])
Out[2]: MultiIndex(levels=[[1, 2]],
codes=[[0, -2]])
New behavior:
In [15]: pd.MultiIndex(levels=[[np.nan, None, pd.NaT, 128, 2]],
....: codes=[[0, -1, 1, 2, 3, 4]])
....:

GroupBy.apply
on DataFrame
evaluates first group only once¶
The implementation of DataFrameGroupBy.apply()
previously evaluated the supplied function consistently twice on the first group
to infer if it is safe to use a fast code path. Particularly for functions with
side effects, this was an undesired behavior and may have led to surprises. (GH2936, GH2656, GH7739, GH10519, GH12155, GH20084, GH21417)
Now every group is evaluated only a single time.
In [17]: df = pd.DataFrame({"a": ["x", "y"], "b": [1, 2]})
In [18]: df
Out[18]:
a b
0 x 1
1 y 2
In [19]: def func(group):

Out[3]:

1 y 2
New behavior:
In [20]: df.groupby("a").apply(func)
x
y
Out[20]:
a b
0 x 1
1 y 2
Concatenating sparse values¶
When passed DataFrames whose values are sparse, concat()
will now return a
Series
or DataFrame
with sparse values, rather than a SparseDataFrame
(GH25702).
In [21]: df = pd.DataFrame({"A": pd.SparseArray([0, 1])})
Previous behavior:
In [2]: type(pd.concat([df, df]))
pandas.core.sparse.frame.SparseDataFrame
New behavior:
In [22]: type(pd.concat([df, df]))
Out[22]: pandas.core.frame.DataFrame
This now matches the existing behavior of concat
on Series
with sparse values.
concat()
will continue to return a SparseDataFrame
when all the values
are instances of SparseDataFrame
.
This change also affects routines using concat()
internally, like get_dummies()
,
which now returns a DataFrame
in all cases (previously a SparseDataFrame
was
returned if all the columns were dummy encoded, and a DataFrame
otherwise).
Providing any SparseSeries
or SparseDataFrame
to concat()
will
cause a SparseSeries
or SparseDataFrame
to be returned, as before.
The .str
-accessor performs stricter type checks¶
Due to the lack of more fine-grained dtypes, Series.str
so far only checked whether the data was
of object
dtype. Series.str
will now infer the dtype data within the Series; in particular,
'bytes'
-only data will raise an exception (except for Series.str.decode()
, Series.str.get()
,
Series.str.len()
, Series.str.slice()
), see GH23163, GH23011, GH23551.
Previous behavior:
In [1]: s = pd.Series(np.array(['a', 'ba', 'cba'], 'S'), dtype=object)
In [2]: s
Out[2]:
0 b'a'
1 b'ba'

123 )
--> 124 raise TypeError(msg)
125 return func(self, *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: Cannot use .str.startswith with values of inferred dtype 'bytes'.
Categorical dtypes are preserved during GroupBy¶
Previously, columns that were categorical, but not the groupby key(s) would be converted to object
dtype during groupby operations. pandas now will preserve these dtypes. (GH18502)
In [26]: cat = pd.Categorical(["foo", "bar", "bar", "qux"], ordered=True)
In [27]: df = pd.DataFrame({'payload': [-1, -2, -1, -2], 'col': cat})
In [28]: df
Out[28]:
payload col
0 -1 foo
1 -2 bar
2 -1 bar
3 -2 qux
In [29]: df.dtypes
Out[29]:
payload int64
col category
dtype: object
Previous Behavior:
In [5]: df.groupby('payload').first().col.dtype
Out[5]: dtype('O')
New Behavior:
In [30]: df.groupby('payload').first().col.dtype
Out[30]: CategoricalDtype(categories=['bar', 'foo', 'qux'], ordered=True)
Incompatible Index type unions¶
When performing Index.union()
operations between objects of incompatible dtypes,
the result will be a base Index
of dtype object
. This behavior holds true for
unions between Index
objects that previously would have been prohibited. The dtype
of empty Index
objects will now be evaluated before performing union operations
rather than simply returning the other Index
object. Index.union()
can now be
considered commutative, such that A.union(B) == B.union(A)
(GH23525).
Previous behavior:
In [1]: pd.period_range('19910905', periods=2).union(pd.Int64Index([1, 2, 3]))
...
ValueError: can only call with other PeriodIndex-ed objects
In [2]: pd.Index([], dtype=object).union(pd.Index([1, 2, 3]))
Out[2]: Int64Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
New behavior:
In [3]: pd.period_range('19910905', periods=2).union(pd.Int64Index([1, 2, 3]))
Out[3]: Index([1991-09-05, 1991-09-06, 1, 2, 3], dtype='object')
In [4]: pd.Index([], dtype=object).union(pd.Index([1, 2, 3]))
Out[4]: Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='object')
Note that integer- and floating-dtype indexes are considered “compatible”. The integer values are coerced to floating point, which may result in loss of precision. See Set operations on Index objects for more.
DataFrame
GroupBy ffill/bfill no longer return group labels¶
The methods ffill
, bfill
, pad
and backfill
of
DataFrameGroupBy
previously included the group labels in the return value, which was
inconsistent with other groupby transforms. Now only the filled values
are returned. (GH21521)
In [31]: df = pd.DataFrame({"a": ["x", "y"], "b": [1, 2]})
In [32]: df
Out[32]:
a b
0 x 1

Previous behavior:
In [3]: df.groupby("a").ffill()
Out[3]:

New behavior:
In [33]: df.groupby("a").ffill()
Out[33]:
b
0 1
1 2
DataFrame
describe on an empty Categorical / object column will return top and freq¶
When calling DataFrame.describe()
with an empty categorical / object
column, the ‘top’ and ‘freq’ columns were previously omitted, which was inconsistent with
the output for non-empty columns. Now the ‘top’ and ‘freq’ columns will always be included,
with numpy.nan
in the case of an empty DataFrame
(GH26397)
In [34]: df = pd.DataFrame({"empty_col": pd.Categorical([])})
In [35]: df
Out[35]:
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [empty_col]
Index: []
Previous behavior:
In [3]: df.describe()
Out[3]:
empty_col
count 0
unique 0
New behavior:
In [36]: df.describe()
Out[36]:
empty_col
count 0
unique 0
top NaN
freq NaN
__str__
methods now call __repr__
rather than vice versa¶
pandas has until now mostly defined string representations in a pandas objects’
__str__
/__unicode__
/__bytes__
methods, and called __str__
from the __repr__
method, if a specific __repr__
method is not found. This is not needed for Python3.
In pandas 0.25, the string representations of pandas objects are now generally
defined in __repr__
, and calls to __str__
in general now pass the call on to
the __repr__
, if a specific __str__
method doesn’t exist, as is standard for Python.
This change is backward compatible for direct usage of pandas, but if you subclass
pandas objects and give your subclasses specific __str__
/__repr__
methods,
you may have to adjust your __str__
/__repr__
methods (GH26495).
Indexing an IntervalIndex
with Interval
objects¶
Indexing methods for IntervalIndex
have been modified to require exact matches only for Interval
queries.
IntervalIndex
methods previously matched on any overlapping Interval
. Behavior with scalar points, e.g. querying
with an integer, is unchanged (GH16316).
In [37]: ii = pd.IntervalIndex.from_tuples([(0, 4), (1, 5), (5, 8)])
In [38]: ii
Out[38]: IntervalIndex([(0, 4], (1, 5], (5, 8]], dtype='interval[int64, right]')
The in
operator (__contains__
) now only returns True
for exact matches to Intervals
in the IntervalIndex
, whereas
this would previously return True
for any Interval
overlapping an Interval
in the IntervalIndex
.
Previous behavior:
In [4]: pd.Interval(1, 2, closed='neither') in ii
Out[4]: True
In [5]: pd.Interval(-10, 10, closed='both') in ii
Out[5]: True
New behavior:
In [39]: pd.Interval(1, 2, closed='neither') in ii
Out[39]: False
In [40]: pd.Interval(-10, 10, closed='both') in ii
Out[40]: False
The get_loc()
method now only returns locations for exact matches to Interval
queries, as opposed to the previous behavior of
returning locations for overlapping matches. A KeyError
will be raised if an exact match is not found.
Previous behavior:
In [6]: ii.get_loc(pd.Interval(1, 5))
Out[6]: array([0, 1])
In [7]: ii.get_loc(pd.Interval(2, 6))
Out[7]: array([0, 1, 2])
New behavior:
In [6]: ii.get_loc(pd.Interval(1, 5))
Out[6]: 1
In [7]: ii.get_loc(pd.Interval(2, 6))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyError: Interval(2, 6, closed='right')
Likewise, get_indexer()
and get_indexer_non_unique()
will also only return locations for exact matches
to Interval
queries, with -1
denoting that an exact match was not found.
These indexing changes extend to querying a Series
or DataFrame
with an IntervalIndex
index.
In [41]: s = pd.Series(list('abc'), index=ii)
In [42]: s
Out[42]:
(0, 4] a
(1, 5] b
(5, 8] c
dtype: object
Selecting from a Series
or DataFrame
using []
(__getitem__
) or loc
now only returns exact matches for Interval
queries.
Previous behavior:
In [8]: s[pd.Interval(1, 5)]
Out[8]:
(0, 4] a
(1, 5] b
dtype: object
In [9]: s.loc[pd.Interval(1, 5)]
Out[9]:
(0, 4] a
(1, 5] b
dtype: object
New behavior:
In [43]: s[pd.Interval(1, 5)]
Out[43]: 'b'
In [44]: s.loc[pd.Interval(1, 5)]
Out[44]: 'b'
Similarly, a KeyError
will be raised for non-exact matches instead of returning overlapping matches.
Previous behavior:
In [9]: s[pd.Interval(2, 3)]
Out[9]:
(0, 4] a
(1, 5] b
dtype: object
In [10]: s.loc[pd.Interval(2, 3)]
Out[10]:
(0, 4] a
(1, 5] b
dtype: object
New behavior:
In [6]: s[pd.Interval(2, 3)]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyError: Interval(2, 3, closed='right')
In [7]: s.loc[pd.Interval(2, 3)]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyError: Interval(2, 3, closed='right')
The overlaps()
method can be used to create a boolean indexer that replicates the
previous behavior of returning overlapping matches.
New behavior:
In [45]: idxr = s.index.overlaps(pd.Interval(2, 3))
In [46]: idxr
Out[46]: array([ True, True, False])
In [47]: s[idxr]
Out[47]:
(0, 4] a
(1, 5] b
dtype: object
In [48]: s.loc[idxr]
Out[48]:
(0, 4] a
(1, 5] b
dtype: object
Binary ufuncs on Series now align¶
Applying a binary ufunc like numpy.power()
now aligns the inputs
when both are Series
(GH23293).
In [49]: s1 = pd.Series([1, 2, 3], index=['a', 'b', 'c'])
In [50]: s2 = pd.Series([3, 4, 5], index=['d', 'c', 'b'])
In [51]: s1
Out[51]:
a 1
b 2
c 3
dtype: int64
In [52]: s2
Out[52]:
d 3
c 4
b 5
dtype: int64
Previous behavior
In [5]: np.power(s1, s2)
Out[5]:
a 1
b 16
c 243
dtype: int64
New behavior
In [53]: np.power(s1, s2)
Out[53]:
a 1.0
b 32.0
c 81.0
d NaN
dtype: float64
This matches the behavior of other binary operations in pandas, like Series.add()
.
To retain the previous behavior, convert the other Series
to an array before
applying the ufunc.
In [54]: np.power(s1, s2.array)
Out[54]:
a 1
b 16
c 243
dtype: int64
Categorical.argsort now places missing values at the end¶
Categorical.argsort()
now places missing values at the end of the array, making it
consistent with NumPy and the rest of pandas (GH21801).
In [55]: cat = pd.Categorical(['b', None, 'a'], categories=['a', 'b'], ordered=True)
Previous behavior
In [2]: cat = pd.Categorical(['b', None, 'a'], categories=['a', 'b'], ordered=True)
In [3]: cat.argsort()
Out[3]: array([1, 2, 0])
In [4]: cat[cat.argsort()]
Out[4]:
[NaN, a, b]
categories (2, object): [a < b]
New behavior
In [56]: cat.argsort()
Out[56]: array([2, 0, 1])
In [57]: cat[cat.argsort()]
Out[57]:
['a', 'b', NaN]
Categories (2, object): ['a' < 'b']
Column order is preserved when passing a list of dicts to DataFrame¶
Starting with Python 3.7 the key-order of dict
is guaranteed. In practice, this has been true since
Python 3.6. The DataFrame
constructor now treats a list of dicts in the same way as
it does a list of OrderedDict
, i.e. preserving the order of the dicts.
This change applies only when pandas is running on Python>=3.6 (GH27309).
In [58]: data = [
....: {'name': 'Joe', 'state': 'NY', 'age': 18},
....: {'name': 'Jane', 'state': 'KY', 'age': 19, 'hobby': 'Minecraft'},
....: {'name': 'Jean', 'state': 'OK', 'age': 20, 'finances': 'good'}
....: ]
....:
Previous Behavior:
The columns were lexicographically sorted previously,
In [1]: pd.DataFrame(data)
Out[1]:
age finances hobby name state
0 18 NaN NaN Joe NY
1 19 NaN Minecraft Jane KY
2 20 good NaN Jean OK
New Behavior:
The column order now matches the insertion-order of the keys in the dict
,
considering all the records from top to bottom. As a consequence, the column
order of the resulting DataFrame has changed compared to previous pandas versions.
In [59]: pd.DataFrame(data)
Out[59]:
name state age hobby finances
0 Joe NY 18 NaN NaN
1 Jane KY 19 Minecraft NaN
2 Jean OK 20 NaN good
Increased minimum versions for dependencies¶
Due to dropping support for Python 2.7, a number of optional dependencies have updated minimum versions (GH25725, GH24942, GH25752). Independently, some minimum supported versions of dependencies were updated (GH23519, GH25554). If installed, we now require:
Package |
Minimum Version |

2.6.1 |
X |
bottleneck |
1.2.1 |
|

Other API changes¶
DatetimeTZDtype
will now standardize pytz timezones to a common timezone instance (GH24713)Timestamp
andTimedelta
scalars now implement theto_numpy()
method as aliases toTimestamp.to_datetime64()
andTimedelta.to_timedelta64()
, respectively. (GH24653)Timestamp.strptime()
will now rise aNotImplementedError
(GH25016)Comparing
Timestamp
with unsupported objects now returnsNotImplemented
instead of raisingTypeError
. This implies that unsupported rich comparisons are delegated to the other object, and are now consistent with Python 3 behavior fordatetime
objects (GH24011)Bug in
DatetimeIndex.snap()
which didn’t preserving thename
of the inputIndex
(GH25575)The
arg
argument inpandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.agg()
has been renamed tofunc
(GH26089)The
arg
argument inpandas.core.window._Window.aggregate()
has been renamed tofunc
(GH26372)Most pandas classes had a
__bytes__
method, which was used for getting a python2-style bytestring representation of the object. This method has been removed as a part of dropping Python2 (GH26447)The
.str
-accessor has been disabled for 1-levelMultiIndex
, useMultiIndex.to_flat_index()
if necessary (GH23679)Removed support of gtk package for clipboards (GH26563)
Using an unsupported version of Beautiful Soup 4 will now raise an
ImportError
instead of aValueError
(GH27063)Series.to_excel()

format. (GH7775)Passing duplicate
names
inread_csv()
will now raise aValueError
(GH17346)
Deprecations¶
Sparse subclasses¶
The SparseSeries
and SparseDataFrame
subclasses are deprecated. Their functionality is better-provided
by a Series
or DataFrame
with sparse values.
Previous way
df = pd.SparseDataFrame({"A": [0, 0, 1, 2]})
df.dtypes
New way
In [60]: df = pd.DataFrame({"A": pd.SparseArray([0, 0, 1, 2])})
In [61]: df.dtypes
Out[61]:
A Sparse[int64, 0]
dtype: object
The memory usage of the two approaches is identical. See Migrating for more (GH19239).

,DataFrame.get_values()
,Index.get_values()
,SparseArray.get_values()
andCategorical.get_values()
methods are deprecated. One ofnp.asarray(..)

can be used instead (GH19617).The ‘outer’ method on NumPy ufuncs, e.g.
np.subtract.outer
has been deprecated onSeries
objects. Convert the input to an array withSeries.array
first (GH27186)Timedelta.resolution()
