我遇到过这个问题，但在找到这篇文章之前找到了答案:

根据unutbu的回答，加载你的数据…

import pandas as pd
import io

texts = ['''\
id   Name   score                    isEnrolled                       Date
111  Jack                            True              2013-05-01 12:00:00
112  Nick   1.11                     False             2013-05-12 15:05:23
     Zoe    4.12                     True                                  ''',

         '''\
id   Name   score                    isEnrolled                       Date
111  Jack   2.17                     True              2013-05-01 12:00:00
112  Nick   1.21                     False                                
     Zoe    4.12                     False             2013-05-01 12:00:00''']


df1 = pd.read_fwf(io.StringIO(texts[0]), widths=[5,7,25,17,20], parse_dates=[4])
df2 = pd.read_fwf(io.StringIO(texts[1]), widths=[5,7,25,17,20], parse_dates=[4])

定义你的diff函数…

def report_diff(x):
    return x[0] if x[0] == x[1] else '{} | {}'.format(*x)

然后你可以简单地使用Panel来总结:

my_panel = pd.Panel(dict(df1=df1,df2=df2))
print my_panel.apply(report_diff, axis=0)

#          id  Name        score    isEnrolled                       Date
#0        111  Jack   nan | 2.17          True        2013-05-01 12:00:00
#1        112  Nick  1.11 | 1.21         False  2013-05-12 15:05:23 | NaT
#2  nan | nan   Zoe         4.12  True | False  NaT | 2013-05-01 12:00:00

顺便说一下，如果你在IPython Notebook中，你可能喜欢使用彩色差异函数 根据单元格是否不同、相等或左/右为空来给出颜色:

from IPython.display import HTML
pd.options.display.max_colwidth = 500  # You need this, otherwise pandas
#                          will limit your HTML strings to 50 characters

def report_diff(x):
    if x[0]==x[1]:
        return unicode(x[0].__str__())
    elif pd.isnull(x[0]) and pd.isnull(x[1]):
        return u'<table style="background-color:#00ff00;font-weight:bold;">'+\
            '<tr><td>%s</td></tr><tr><td>%s</td></tr></table>' % ('nan', 'nan')
    elif pd.isnull(x[0]) and ~pd.isnull(x[1]):
        return u'<table style="background-color:#ffff00;font-weight:bold;">'+\
            '<tr><td>%s</td></tr><tr><td>%s</td></tr></table>' % ('nan', x[1])
    elif ~pd.isnull(x[0]) and pd.isnull(x[1]):
        return u'<table style="background-color:#0000ff;font-weight:bold;">'+\
            '<tr><td>%s</td></tr><tr><td>%s</td></tr></table>' % (x[0],'nan')
    else:
        return u'<table style="background-color:#ff0000;font-weight:bold;">'+\
            '<tr><td>%s</td></tr><tr><td>%s</td></tr></table>' % (x[0], x[1])

HTML(my_panel.apply(report_diff, axis=0).to_html(escape=False))

扩展@cge的答案，这对于结果的可读性来说非常酷:

a[a != b][np.any(a != b, axis=1)].join(pd.DataFrame('a<->b', index=a.index, columns=['a<=>b'])).join(
        b[a != b][np.any(a != b, axis=1)]
        ,rsuffix='_b', how='outer'
).fillna('')

完整的演示示例:

import numpy as np, pandas as pd

a = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(7,3), columns=list('ABC'))
b = a.copy()
b.iloc[0,2] = np.nan
b.iloc[1,0] = 7
b.iloc[3,1] = 77
b.iloc[4,2] = 777

a[a != b][np.any(a != b, axis=1)].join(pd.DataFrame('a<->b', index=a.index, columns=['a<=>b'])).join(
        b[a != b][np.any(a != b, axis=1)]
        ,rsuffix='_b', how='outer'
).fillna('')

使用concat和drop_duplicate的不同方法:

import sys
if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
    from StringIO import StringIO
else:
    from io import StringIO
import pandas as pd

DF1 = StringIO("""id   Name   score                    isEnrolled           Comment
111  Jack   2.17                     True                 "He was late to class"
112  Nick   1.11                     False                "Graduated"
113  Zoe    NaN                     True                  " "
""")
DF2 = StringIO("""id   Name   score                    isEnrolled           Comment
111  Jack   2.17                     True                 "He was late to class"
112  Nick   1.21                     False                "Graduated"
113  Zoe    NaN                     False                "On vacation" """)

df1 = pd.read_table(DF1, sep='\s+', index_col='id')
df2 = pd.read_table(DF2, sep='\s+', index_col='id')
#%%
dictionary = {1:df1,2:df2}
df=pd.concat(dictionary)
df.drop_duplicates(keep=False)

输出:

       Name  score isEnrolled      Comment
  id                                      
1 112  Nick   1.11      False    Graduated
  113   Zoe    NaN       True             
2 112  Nick   1.21      False    Graduated
  113   Zoe    NaN      False  On vacation

在两个数据帧之间寻找不对称差异的函数实现如下: (基于熊猫的集差) 要点:https://gist.github.com/oneryalcin/68cf25f536a25e65f0b3c84f9c118e03

def diff_df(df1, df2, how="left"):
    """
      Find Difference of rows for given two dataframes
      this function is not symmetric, means
            diff(x, y) != diff(y, x)
      however
            diff(x, y, how='left') == diff(y, x, how='right')

      Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18180763/set-difference-for-pandas/40209800#40209800
    """
    if (df1.columns != df2.columns).any():
        raise ValueError("Two dataframe columns must match")

    if df1.equals(df2):
        return None
    elif how == 'right':
        return pd.concat([df2, df1, df1]).drop_duplicates(keep=False)
    elif how == 'left':
        return pd.concat([df1, df2, df2]).drop_duplicates(keep=False)
    else:
        raise ValueError('how parameter supports only "left" or "right keywords"')

例子:

df1 = pd.DataFrame(d1)
Out[1]: 
                Comment  Name  isEnrolled  score
0  He was late to class  Jack        True   2.17
1             Graduated  Nick       False   1.11
2                         Zoe        True   4.12


df2 = pd.DataFrame(d2)

Out[2]: 
                Comment  Name  isEnrolled  score
0  He was late to class  Jack        True   2.17
1           On vacation   Zoe        True   4.12

diff_df(df1, df2)
Out[3]: 
     Comment  Name  isEnrolled  score
1  Graduated  Nick       False   1.11
2              Zoe        True   4.12

diff_df(df2, df1)
Out[4]: 
       Comment Name  isEnrolled  score
1  On vacation  Zoe        True   4.12

# This gives the same result as above
diff_df(df1, df2, how='right')
Out[22]: 
       Comment Name  isEnrolled  score
1  On vacation  Zoe        True   4.12

这个答案只是扩展了@Andy Hayden的答案，使其能够适应数值字段为nan的情况，并将其包装成一个函数。

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np


def diff_pd(df1, df2):
    """Identify differences between two pandas DataFrames"""
    assert (df1.columns == df2.columns).all(), \
        "DataFrame column names are different"
    if any(df1.dtypes != df2.dtypes):
        "Data Types are different, trying to convert"
        df2 = df2.astype(df1.dtypes)
    if df1.equals(df2):
        return None
    else:
        # need to account for np.nan != np.nan returning True
        diff_mask = (df1 != df2) & ~(df1.isnull() & df2.isnull())
        ne_stacked = diff_mask.stack()
        changed = ne_stacked[ne_stacked]
        changed.index.names = ['id', 'col']
        difference_locations = np.where(diff_mask)
        changed_from = df1.values[difference_locations]
        changed_to = df2.values[difference_locations]
        return pd.DataFrame({'from': changed_from, 'to': changed_to},
                            index=changed.index)

所以对于你的数据(稍微编辑一下，在分数列中有一个NaN):

import sys
if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
    from StringIO import StringIO
else:
    from io import StringIO

DF1 = StringIO("""id   Name   score                    isEnrolled           Comment
111  Jack   2.17                     True                 "He was late to class"
112  Nick   1.11                     False                "Graduated"
113  Zoe    NaN                     True                  " "
""")
DF2 = StringIO("""id   Name   score                    isEnrolled           Comment
111  Jack   2.17                     True                 "He was late to class"
112  Nick   1.21                     False                "Graduated"
113  Zoe    NaN                     False                "On vacation" """)
df1 = pd.read_table(DF1, sep='\s+', index_col='id')
df2 = pd.read_table(DF2, sep='\s+', index_col='id')
diff_pd(df1, df2)

输出:

                from           to
id  col                          
112 score       1.11         1.21
113 isEnrolled  True        False
    Comment           On vacation

突出显示两个数据框架之间的差异

可以使用DataFrame样式属性来突出显示有差异的单元格的背景颜色。

使用原始问题中的示例数据

第一步是用concat函数水平连接dataframe，并用keys参数区分每一帧:

df_all = pd.concat([df.set_index('id'), df2.set_index('id')], 
                   axis='columns', keys=['First', 'Second'])
df_all

交换列级别并将相同的列名放在彼此旁边可能更容易:

df_final = df_all.swaplevel(axis='columns')[df.columns[1:]]
df_final

现在，很容易看出不同的框架。但是，我们可以进一步使用style属性来突出显示不同的单元格。我们定义了一个自定义函数来实现这一点，您可以在本部分文档中看到。

def highlight_diff(data, color='yellow'):
    attr = 'background-color: {}'.format(color)
    other = data.xs('First', axis='columns', level=-1)
    return pd.DataFrame(np.where(data.ne(other, level=0), attr, ''),
                        index=data.index, columns=data.columns)

df_final.style.apply(highlight_diff, axis=None)

这将突出显示两者都有缺失值的单元格。您可以填充它们或提供额外的逻辑，这样它们就不会被突出显示。
