Description
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [2, 1, 2, 2],
"B": [3, 3, 4, 4],
"E": [['10'], ['20'], ['30'], ['40']]})
df["A"].cumsum()
df["E"].cumsum()
df.groupby("B")["A"].cumsum()
df.groupby("B")["E"].cumsum()Issue Description
Inconsistency between behavior of cumsum() when applied directly, and when applied within groupby().
When used directly on a column of a dataframe that contains lists, cumsum() progressively concatenates the lists.
When used as part of groupby() on the same dataframe cumsum() throws "NotImplementedError: function is not implemented for this dtype: [how->cumsum,dtype->object]"
Expected Behavior
I'd expect cumsum() to progressively concatenate the lists of all rows within each group defined by groupby(), in a way similar to what it does with numeric values.
