function returns dataframe as list

[harum]

Hello, I have a function that takes a dataframe as an argument and returns a modified dataframe; and the modified dataframe is a dataframe object as checked with isinstance before return. However, in the calling function the variable assigned to the returned dataframe is no longer a dataframe but a list. Any ideas why would that be? Thanks!

If anyone is interested, it was a newbie mistake, used "return [dataframe_name]" instead of "return dataframe_name".

used "return [dataframe_name]"

Yes, that would do it.

Good that you worked it out: that's learning, right there.
