Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
In [26]: s = pd.Series(['a', 'ab', 'abc'])
In [27]: s.str.extractall("(A)")
Out[27]:
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [0]
Index: []
In [28]: s.iloc[:0].str.extractall("(a)")
Out[28]:
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [0]
Index: []
Problem description
From the docs:
Its rows have a MultiIndex with first levels that come from
the subject Series. The last level is named 'match' and indicates
the order in the subject.
So I think the correct index should be something like
In [51]: pd.MultiIndex([[], []], [[], []], names=[None, 'match'])
Out[51]:
MultiIndex(levels=[[], []],
labels=[[], []],
names=[None, 'match'])
Expected Output
In [52]: pd.Series(index=pd.MultiIndex([[], []], [[], []], names=[None, 'match']))
Out[52]: Series([], dtype: float64)
