Description
The following call fails with a PackValueError: recursion limit exceeded.
, spamming the console with references to pandas.msgpack.Packer._pack
lines 3295
and 2391
:
df = pd.DataFrame([0], index=[datetime.time(1, 2, 3)])
df.to_msgpack()
This also happens for other unsupported data like a custom object class A: pass; A()
instead of datetime.time
. In both cases I'd expect the function to immediately stop processing when it encounters an unsupported object (or try to pickle like to_hdf
does). Also, an index of datetime.time
can be produced directly from a pd.DateTimeIndex
, so it would be good to at least special-case this.
