Parallelize apply after pandas groupby

This seems to work, although it really should be built in to pandas

import pandas as pd
from joblib import Parallel, delayed
import multiprocessing

def tmpFunc(df):
    df['c'] = df.a + df.b
    return df

def applyParallel(dfGrouped, func):
    retLst = Parallel(n_jobs=multiprocessing.cpu_count())(delayed(func)(group) for name, group in dfGrouped)
    return pd.concat(retLst)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [6, 2, 2], 'b': [4, 5, 6]},index= ['g1', 'g1', 'g2'])
    print 'parallel version: '
    print applyParallel(df.groupby(df.index), tmpFunc)

    print 'regular version: '
    print df.groupby(df.index).apply(tmpFunc)

    print 'ideal version (does not work): '
    print df.groupby(df.index).applyParallel(tmpFunc)
