Pandas groupby and qcut

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'A':'foo foo foo bar bar bar'.split(),
                   'B':[0.1, 0.5, 1.0]*2})

df['C'] = df.groupby(['A'])['B'].transform(
                     lambda x: pd.qcut(x, 3, labels=range(1,4)))
print(df)

yields

     A    B  C
0  foo  0.1  1
1  foo  0.5  2
2  foo  1.0  3
3  bar  0.1  1
4  bar  0.5  2
5  bar  1.0  3
