print(df.replace(r'^\s*$', np.nan, regex=True))
# Produces:
#                    A    B   C
# 2000-01-01 -0.532681  foo   0
# 2000-01-02  1.490752  bar   1
# 2000-01-03 -1.387326  foo   2
# 2000-01-04  0.814772  baz NaN
# 2000-01-05 -0.222552  NaN   4
# 2000-01-06 -1.176781  qux NaN

# NOTE: if you don't want an element containing space in the middle to be replaced with NaN 
# use df.replace(r'^\s+$', np.nan, regex=True)
