Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({"first": [9.76, 9.76, 9.76], "last": [9.76, 9.76, 9.76], "pre": [9.75, 9.76, 9.76]})

expr = """first_ret = first / pre.fillna(first) - 1.0
last_ret = last / pre.fillna(first) - 1.0"""

# this fails with `TypeError: "value" parameter must be a scalar, dict or Series, but you passed a "ndarray"`
df.eval(expr)

# this works fine
for line in expr.splitlines():
    df.eval(line)

Issue Description

DataFrame.eval fails with TypeError: "value" parameter must be a scalar, dict or Series, but you passed a "ndarray" with multiline expr but works when eval line by line.

The culprit seems to be that

terms[i].update(terms[i].value.values)
modified Scope.resolvers.

Expected Behavior

df.eval(expr) also works fine
