python - quantile normalization on pandas dataframe

Simply speaking, how to apply quantile normalization on a large Pandas dataframe (probably 2,000,000 rows) in Python?

PS. I know that there is a package named rpy2 which could run R in subprocess, using quantile normalize in R. But the truth is that R cannot compute the correct result when I use the data set as below:

Edit:

What I want:

Given the data shown above, how to apply quantile normalization following steps in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile_normalization.

I found a piece of code in Python declaring that it could compute the quantile normalization:

import rpy2.robjects as robjects
import numpy as np
from rpy2.robjects.packages import importr
preprocessCore = importr('preprocessCore')


matrix = [ [1,2,3,4,5], [1,3,5,7,9], [2,4,6,8,10] ]
v = robjects.FloatVector([ element for col in matrix for element in col ])
m = robjects.r['matrix'](v, ncol = len(matrix), byrow=False)
Rnormalized_matrix = preprocessCore.normalize_quantiles(m)
normalized_matrix = np.array( Rnormalized_matrix)

The code works fine with the sample data used in the code, however when I test it with the data given above the result went wrong.

Since ryp2 provides an interface to run R in python subprocess, I test it again in R directly and the result was still wrong. As a result I think the reason is that the method in R is wrong.

Using the example dataset from Wikipedia article:

df = pd.DataFrame({'C1': {'A': 5, 'B': 2, 'C': 3, 'D': 4},
                   'C2': {'A': 4, 'B': 1, 'C': 4, 'D': 2},
                   'C3': {'A': 3, 'B': 4, 'C': 6, 'D': 8}})

df
Out: 
   C1  C2  C3
A   5   4   3
B   2   1   4
C   3   4   6
D   4   2   8

For each rank, the mean value can be calculated with the following:

rank_mean = df.stack().groupby(df.rank(method='first').stack().astype(int)).mean()

rank_mean
Out: 
1    2.000000
2    3.000000
3    4.666667
4    5.666667
dtype: float64

Then the resulting Series, rank_mean, can be used as a mapping for the ranks to get the normalized results:

df.rank(method='min').stack().astype(int).map(rank_mean).unstack()
Out: 
         C1        C2        C3
A  5.666667  4.666667  2.000000
B  2.000000  2.000000  3.000000
C  3.000000  4.666667  4.666667
D  4.666667  3.000000  5.666667
