Including the group name in the apply function

by

I think you should be able to use the nameattribute:

temp_dataframe.groupby(level=0,axis=0).apply(lambda x: foo(x.name, x))

should work, example:

In [132]:
df = pd.DataFrame({'a':list('aabccc'), 'b':np.arange(6)})
df

Out[132]:
   a  b
0  a  0
1  a  1
2  b  2
3  c  3
4  c  4
5  c  5

In [134]:
df.groupby('a').apply(lambda x: print('name:', x.name, '\nsubdf:',x))

name: a 
subdf:    a  b
0  a  0
1  a  1
name: b 
subdf:    a  b
2  b  2
name: c 
subdf:    a  b
3  c  3
4  c  4
5  c  5
Out[134]:
Empty DataFrame
Columns: []
Index: []
