pandas DataFrame.compare中有一种新的方法，即比较2个不同的dataframe，并返回数据记录中每列中变化的值。

例子

第一个Dataframe

Id Customer Status      Date
1      ABC   Good  Mar 2023
2      BAC   Good  Feb 2024
3      CBA    Bad  Apr 2022

第二个Dataframe

Id Customer Status      Date
1      ABC    Bad  Mar 2023
2      BAC   Good  Feb 2024
5      CBA   Good  Apr 2024

比较Dataframes

print("Dataframe difference -- \n")
print(df1.compare(df2))

print("Dataframe difference keeping equal values -- \n")
print(df1.compare(df2, keep_equal=True))

print("Dataframe difference keeping same shape -- \n")
print(df1.compare(df2, keep_shape=True))

print("Dataframe difference keeping same shape and equal values -- \n")
print(df1.compare(df2, keep_shape=True, keep_equal=True))

结果

Dataframe difference -- 

    Id       Status            Date          
  self other   self other      self     other
0  NaN   NaN   Good   Bad       NaN       NaN
2  3.0   5.0    Bad  Good  Apr 2022  Apr 2024

Dataframe difference keeping equal values -- 

    Id       Status            Date          
  self other   self other      self     other
0    1     1   Good   Bad  Mar 2023  Mar 2023
2    3     5    Bad  Good  Apr 2022  Apr 2024

Dataframe difference keeping same shape -- 

    Id       Customer       Status            Date          
  self other     self other   self other      self     other
0  NaN   NaN      NaN   NaN   Good   Bad       NaN       NaN
1  NaN   NaN      NaN   NaN    NaN   NaN       NaN       NaN
2  3.0   5.0      NaN   NaN    Bad  Good  Apr 2022  Apr 2024

Dataframe difference keeping same shape and equal values -- 

    Id       Customer       Status            Date          
  self other     self other   self other      self     other
0    1     1      ABC   ABC   Good   Bad  Mar 2023  Mar 2023
1    2     2      BAC   BAC   Good  Good  Feb 2024  Feb 2024
2    3     5      CBA   CBA    Bad  Good  Apr 2022  Apr 2024

对于行，尝试这样做，其中Name是联合索引列(可以是多个公共列的列表，或者指定left_on和right_on):

m = df1.merge(df2, on='Name', how='outer', suffixes=['', '_'], indicator=True)

indicator=True设置很有用，因为它添加了一个名为_merge的列，其中包含df1和df2之间的所有更改，分为3种可能的类型:“left_only”，“right_only”或“both”。

对于列，试试这个:

set(df1.columns).symmetric_difference(df2.columns)

除了公认的答案，我想提出一个更广泛的解决方案，可以找到两个数据框架的2D集差异与任何索引/列(他们可能不符合两个数据框架)。此外，该方法允许设置浮动元素的容忍度，用于数据帧比较(它使用np.isclose)

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

def get_dataframe_setdiff2d(df_new: pd.DataFrame, 
                            df_old: pd.DataFrame, 
                            rtol=1e-03, atol=1e-05) -> pd.DataFrame:
    """Returns set difference of two pandas DataFrames"""

    union_index = np.union1d(df_new.index, df_old.index)
    union_columns = np.union1d(df_new.columns, df_old.columns)

    new = df_new.reindex(index=union_index, columns=union_columns)
    old = df_old.reindex(index=union_index, columns=union_columns)

    mask_diff = ~np.isclose(new, old, rtol, atol)

    df_bool = pd.DataFrame(mask_diff, union_index, union_columns)

    df_diff = pd.concat([new[df_bool].stack(),
                         old[df_bool].stack()], axis=1)

    df_diff.columns = ["New", "Old"]

    return df_diff

例子:

In [1]

df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A':[2,1,2],'C':[2,1,2]})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,1],'B':[1,1]})

print("df1:\n", df1, "\n")

print("df2:\n", df2, "\n")

diff = get_dataframe_setdiff2d(df1, df2)

print("diff:\n", diff, "\n")

Out [1]

df1:
   A  C
0  2  2
1  1  1
2  2  2 

df2:
   A  B
0  1  1
1  1  1 

diff:
     New  Old
0 A  2.0  1.0
  B  NaN  1.0
  C  2.0  NaN
1 B  NaN  1.0
  C  1.0  NaN
2 A  2.0  NaN
  C  2.0  NaN 

edit2，我想出了一个新的解决方案，不需要设置索引

newdf=pd.concat([df1,df2]).drop_duplicates(keep=False)

好吧，我发现最高投票的答案已经包含我已经弄明白了。是的，我们只能在每个dfs中没有重复的情况下使用此代码。

我有一个棘手的方法。首先，我们将“Name”设置为问题给出的两个数据框架的索引。由于我们在两个dfs中有相同的' Name '，我们可以从'大' df中删除'小' df的索引。 这是代码。

df1.set_index('Name',inplace=True)
df2.set_index('Name',inplace=True)
newdf=df1.drop(df2.index)

nice @liangli的解决方案略有变化，不需要改变现有数据框架的索引:

newdf = df1.drop(df1.join(df2.set_index('Name').index))

使用lambda函数，您可以过滤_merge值为“left_only”的行，以获得df1中df2中缺失的所有行

df3 = df1.merge(df2, how = 'outer' ,indicator=True).loc[lambda x :x['_merge']=='left_only']
df
