Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
import pandas as pd
series = pd.Series(1., pd.period_range('2015', '2016', freq='B'))
resampled = series.resample('3B').sum()
print type(series.index)
print type(resampled.index)
Problem description
A PeriodIndex when resampled by a multiple of BusinessDays becomes a DatetimeIndex.
Expected Output
I would expect it to be a 3B PeriodIndex
Output of pd.show_versions()
