Description
Today I've found weird behaviour of level parameter of groupby. I need to groupby two dataframes by index and this code is working as long as I'm using Multiindex.
index1 = pandas.Index([1,2,3,4,5])
index2 = pandas.Index([1,2,3,4,5])
first = pandas.DataFrame({'a':[1,2,3,4,5]}, index=index1)
second = df2 = pandas.DataFrame({'a':[2,3,4,5,6]}, index=index2)
pandas.concat([first, second]).groupby(level=range(first.index.nlevels)).min()Unfortunately when I'm using simple Index I get:
ValueError: level > 0 only valid with MultiIndex
In other way if I passed 0 instead of [0], everything is working properly. It's weird and cause that it's hard to write reusable code.
