Documentation problem
Dataframe headers that appear in the example docstring for
pandas.melt()were not properly aligned with their columns. This caused some initial confusion, as the columns in the constructed dataframe example did not visually appear to match the columns in the example output. While the constructed dataframe has columnAwith valuesa, b, c, the printed example in the docstring visually appeared to have values0, 1, 2. This similarly applies to all of the other columns.Suggested fix for documentation
Adding additional spaces to the headers in the docstring fixes the appearance. It now appears to match what is displayed when re-running the examples in an interpreter.
