【问题描述】：
我正在尝试计算列中组的中位数。我在
找到了一个非常清晰的例子Pandas: Calculate Median of Group over Columns
这个问题和答案正是我需要的答案。我创建了发布的确切示例，以自行处理详细信息
import pandas
import numpy
data_3 = [2,3,4,5,4,2]
data_4 = [0,1,2,3,4,2]
df = pandas.DataFrame({'COL1': ['A','A','A','A','B','B'],
'COL2': ['AA','AA','BB','BB','BB','BB'],
'COL3': data_3,
'COL4': data_4})
m = df.groupby(['COL1', 'COL2'])[['COL3','COL4']].apply(numpy.median)
当我尝试计算 Group over columns 的中位数时，我遇到了错误
TypeError: Series.name must be a hashable type
如果我执行完全相同的代码，唯一的区别是用不同的统计量（均值、最小值、最大值、标准差）替换中值，并且一切正常。
我不明白这个错误的原因以及为什么它只发生在中位数，这是我真正需要计算的。
提前感谢您的帮助，
鲍勃
这是完整的错误信息。我正在使用 python 3.5.2

@CodeCupboard 这怎么可能是一个问题？
np.median([1,2])（偶数个值）和np.median([1,2, 3])（奇数个）一样有效。
