  Removing existing functionality in pandas
  To pick up a draggable item, press the space bar. While dragging, use the arrow keys to move the item. Press space again to drop the item in its new position, or press escape to cancel.

Problem Description

Pandas has many in-place operators implemented:

__iadd__,  __isub__,  __imul__,  __itruediv_ __ifloordiv __imod__,  __ipow__,  __iand__,  __ixor__,  __ior__, __imatmul__

As for __rshift__, __lshift__, __irshift__ and __ilshift__ they don't work in version 2.2.2.

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> s = pd.Series([0, 1, 2])
>>> s <<= 2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for <<=: 'Series' and 'int'

And numpy implements all methods:

>>> import numpy as np 
>>> s = np.array([0, 1, 2])
>>> s <<= 3
>>> s
array([ 0,  8, 16])

Feature Description

Allow for __rshift__, __lshift__, __irshift__ and __ilshift__ calls in Series and DataFrames

>>> import pandas as pd 
>>> s = pd.Series([0, 1, 2])
>>> s << 3
0    0
1    8
2    16
>>> s <<= 3
>>> s
0    0
1    8
2    16

Alternative Solutions

For now, the solution is to create a new Series operating over the underlying numpy array

>>> pd.Series(s.values << 3)
0     0
1     8
2    16
dtype: int64

Additional Context

It is curious that the last issue that talks about shift operations is from more than 10 years ago (#2337). Indeed it's quite a niche feature and fits more computer scientists rather than data scientists. Anyway, I thought about this feature more for completeness and consistency with python operators rather than usefulness.
