The doc string for
Series.agg
says:"A passed user-defined-function will be passed a Series for evaluation."
which isn't true currently. In additionSeries.agg
currently will not always aggregate, when given a aggregation function. This PR fixes those issues.It can be noted that that doc string is correct for
DataFrame.agg
, so this PR aligns the behavior ofSeries.agg
andDataFrame.agg
.I'm not sure if this is too drastic as a bug fix, or we want it as part of a deprecation process, but just putting this up there, will see where it goes. This will solve parts of #52140.
