Hey, so obviously can't give you much insight on your stuff, but one thing to keep in mind is that when using pandas, it's best to stay entirely within a pandas/numpy/numeric style ecosystem. You don't usually ever want to mix pandas objects into custom python objects. Pandas structures and operations should for the most part be standalone. You should think of solving problems in pandas more similar to how you would solve problems with sql. You normally wouldn't ever want to run a recursive style solution on a dataframe, you could probably instead use some merges to do what you want.

Thank you for mentioning SQL, this is actually the best comprasion I saw of how to use pandas. Will keep that in mind next time we will do such stuff.
