Pandas version checks
-
[x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
[x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
[x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
pd.MultiIndex([[1,2,3], [4,5,6]], [[0,1,2], [0,1,2]], dtype='float64')
Issue Description
This outputs
MultiIndex([(1, 4),
(2, 5),
(3, 6)],
)
dtype is ignored
Expected Behavior
I think one of the following:
- dtype is respected
- the dtype argument is removed
- the dtype argument is kept but raises if it's not None
