BUG: df.where(series, axis=1) always results in TypeError #58190

Description

Pandas version checks

Reproducible Example

Based on this Stack Overflow question:

A = pd.DataFrame( [[0.0, 0.5, 0.0], [0.1, 0.0, 0.2], [0.2, 0.0, 0.0]]) B = pd.Series([1.0, 1.0, np.nan])

Then:

A.where(B.notna(), axis=1)

Issue Description

Result: TypeError: 'float' object is not subscriptable

It seems to be trying to index other, which is NaN.

Traceback
Traceback (most recent call last): Cell In[11], line 2 A.where(B.notna(), axis=1) File ~/Programs/micromamba/envs/pandas_pre/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pandas/core/generic.py:9897 in where return self._where(cond, other, inplace=inplace, axis=axis, level=level) File ~/Programs/micromamba/envs/pandas_pre/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pandas/core/generic.py:9686 in _where new_data = self._mgr.where( File ~/Programs/micromamba/envs/pandas_pre/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pandas/core/internals/managers.py:468 in where return self.apply( File ~/Programs/micromamba/envs/pandas_pre/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pandas/core/internals/managers.py:432 in apply kwargs[k] = obj[b.mgr_locs.indexer] TypeError: 'float' object is not subscriptable

Expected Behavior

B.notna() is broadcast to A along the columns.

 0 1 2 0 0.0 0.5 NaN 1 0.1 0.0 NaN 2 0.2 0.0 NaN 

Cf. A.mul(B, axis=1):

 0 1 2 0 0.0 0.5 NaN 1 0.1 0.0 NaN 2 0.2 0.0 NaN
