RecursionError when using pd.DataFrame as creator.create base argument

[gchhughes]

Hello,

I am trying to create an individual that inherits the pd.DataFrame class, but I receive a recursion error at line 165, setattr(self, obj_name, obj()). I am not sure how to resolve this issue on my end.

creator.create(name = 'FitnessMin',
base = base.Fitness,
weights = (-1.0,))

creator.create(name = 'individual',
base = pd.DataFrame,
fitness = creator.FitnessMin)

creator.individual()
