Code Sample

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['bar','bar','foo', 'foo', 'bar'], 
                   'B': ['one', 'one', 'one', 'three', 'four'], 
                   'C': [1,2,3,4,5]})
def fun(x):
    print(x)
s.groupby(['A']).apply(fun)

# result
     A     B  C
0  bar   one  1
1  bar   one  2
4  bar  four  5
     A     B  C
0  bar   one  1
1  bar   one  2
4  bar  four  5
     A      B  C
2  foo    one  3
3  foo  three  4

Problem description

Why the first sub-group will be repeated?This is a bug or the designer is interested!

Expected Output

     A     B  C
0  bar   one  1
1  bar   one  2
4  bar  four  5
     A      B  C
2  foo    one  3
3  foo  three  4
