BUG: DateOffset pickle bug when months=12 #34511

@jjbarton

Description

@jjbarton
  • [ 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.

  • (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.


Note: Please read this guide detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pickle import pandas as pd offset = pd.DateOffset(months=12) pickle.dump(offset, open("/tmp/o.p", "wb")) loaded = pickle.load(open("/tmp/o.p", "rb")) print(loaded) # <DateOffset: months=12, years=1> 

Problem description

If you pickle a pandas DateOffset instance with months=12, and then unpickle it, you have a DateOffset(months=12, years=1) instance (effectively a 2 year date offset object.

Arguably one shouldn't create a 12 month date offset in preference to a 1 year offset, but this is still bad behaviour imho.

Expected Output

print(loaded)

<DateOffset: months=12>

Output of pd.show_versions()
