Can not tabulate table with pd.NA

When moving to 0.9.0, you will see

when trying to tabulate a pandas dataframe with pd.NA values in the rows

It seems that this is my Issue, too. The folks at pandas asked to to report that Issue here.

Reproduce with

df = pandas.DataFrame([[pandas.NA]])
tabulate.tabulate(df)

The full report including version infos can be found here:
pandas-dev/pandas#50866

It seems that the error happens with tabulate 0.9 but not with 0.8.10.

The trouble comes from how pandas.NA propagates itself in cases when you normally expect a boolean:

>>> a = (pandas.NA == "")
>>> a
<NA>
>>> b = (True and a)
>>> b
<NA>
>>> if b:
...     pass
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pandas\_libs\missing.pyx", line 382, in pandas._libs.missing.NAType.__bool__
TypeError: boolean value of NA is ambiguous

There is already a pull request #232 for separating lines which fixes this issue as well:

>>> df = pandas.DataFrame([[pandas.NA]])
>>> print(tabulate(df))
-  ----
0  <NA>
-  ----

Let's hope it's merged before long.
