Super: maximum recursion depth exceeded

I am trying to subclass Pandas' DataFrame in another class, same like the GeoDataFrame in GeoPandas here.

However, I get a

maximum recursion depth exceeded error

when I run:

from pandas import DataFrame

df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,2,4], 'B':[4,5,6]})

class NewDataFrame(DataFrame):
    def __init__(self, dataframe: pd.DataFrame) -> None:
        self.dataframe = dataframe
        super(NewDataFrame, self).__init__(dataframe)

    def do_something(self):
        print(self.dataframe.columns)

ndf  = NewDataFrame(df)

full error

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

I am aware of this question and this, but answers to both seem what I exactly did unless I am missing something.

I am on Mac OS 10.14.5 and Python 3.7.3

You've got an infinite loop in your code. Maybe you've been looking for something like:

from pandas import DataFrame

class NewDataFrame(DataFrame):
    def __init__(self, param) -> None:
        super().__init__(param)

    def do_something(self):
        print(self.columns)

ndf  = NewDataFrame({'A':[1,2,4], 'B':[4,5,6]})
