Root Cause

Attempting arithmetic on string arrays; NumPy has no add loop for Unicode dtype.

generic

中文

对字符串数组执行算术运算；NumPy 对 Unicode dtype 没有 add 循环。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    arr = arr.astype(float) before arithmetic
  2. 90% success 
    Use pd.to_numeric(arr, errors='coerce') to convert

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    Still fails for '+' on strings

  2. 85% fail

    Same ufunc error
