Examples

With Series:

>>> index = ['Falcon', 'Falcon', 'Parrot', 'Parrot', 'Parrot']  
>>> s = pd.Series([None, 1, None, None, 3], index=index)  
>>> s  
Falcon    NaN
Falcon    1.0
Parrot    NaN
Parrot    NaN
Parrot    3.0
dtype: float64
>>> s.groupby(level=0).bfill()  
Falcon    1.0
Falcon    1.0
Parrot    3.0
Parrot    3.0
Parrot    3.0
dtype: float64
>>> s.groupby(level=0).bfill(limit=1)  
Falcon    1.0
Falcon    1.0
Parrot    NaN
Parrot    3.0
Parrot    3.0
dtype: float64

With DataFrame:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, None, None, None, 4],  
...                    'B': [None, None, 5, None, 7]}, index=index)
>>> df  
          A         B
Falcon  1.0       NaN
Falcon  NaN       NaN
Parrot  NaN       5.0
Parrot  NaN       NaN
Parrot  4.0       7.0
>>> df.groupby(level=0).bfill()  
          A         B
Falcon  1.0       NaN
Falcon  NaN       NaN
Parrot  4.0       5.0
Parrot  4.0       7.0
Parrot  4.0       7.0
>>> df.groupby(level=0).bfill(limit=1)  
          A         B
Falcon  1.0       NaN
Falcon  NaN       NaN
Parrot  NaN       5.0
