DataFrame with no rows gives error when trying to view it

[grgsolymosi]

If I construct a DF like this:

iv_bd = pd.DataFrame(columns=['Jan','Feb','Mar'])

It causes an internal error instead of showing something like e.g. "empty Dataframe"

Spyder Internal Console

This console is used to report application
internal errors and to inspect Spyder
internals with the following commands:
  spy.app, spy.window, dir(spy)

Please don't use it to run your code
