[python] pandas GroupBy columns with NaN (missing) values

I answered this already, but some reason the answer was converted to a comment. Nevertheless, this is the most efficient solution:

Not being able to include (and propagate) NaNs in groups is quite aggravating. Citing R is not convincing, as this behavior is not consistent with a lot of other things. Anyway, the dummy hack is also pretty bad. However, the size (includes NaNs) and the count (ignores NaNs) of a group will differ if there are NaNs.

dfgrouped = df.groupby(['b']).a.agg(['sum','size','count'])

dfgrouped['sum'][dfgrouped['size']!=dfgrouped['count']] = None

When these differ, you can set the value back to None for the result of the aggregation function for that group.
