Question

我尝试将数据框（df1）与另一个df2可能为空的数据框（df2）合并。合并条件为df1.index=df2.z（df1永远不会为空），但我收到以下错误。

有没有办法让这个工作？

In [31]:
import pandas as pd
In [32]:
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [4, 5, 6], 'c': [1, 2, 3]})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'x':[], 'y':[], 'z':[]})
dfm = pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer', left_index=True, right_on='z')

    985         # by definition cannot propogate freq

IndexError: cannot do a non-empty take from an empty axes.

另一种选择，类似于Joran's：

try:
    dfm = pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer', left_index=True, right_on='z')
except IndexError:
    dfm = df1.reindex_axis(df1.columns.union(df2.columns), axis=1)

我不确定哪个更清楚但是以下工作：

In [11]: df1.reindex_axis(df1.columns.union(df2.columns), axis=1)
Out[11]:
   a  b  c   x   y   z
0  1  4  1 NaN NaN NaN
1  2  5  2 NaN NaN NaN
2  3  6  3 NaN NaN NaN

In [12]: df1.loc[:, df1.columns.union(df2.columns)]
Out[12]:
   a  b  c   x   y   z
0  1  4  1 NaN NaN NaN
1  2  5  2 NaN NaN NaN
2  3  6  3 NaN NaN NaN

（我更喜欢前者。）

Answer 2

try:
    dfm = pd.merge(df1, df2, how='outer', left_index=True, right_on='z')
except IndexError:
    dfm = df1 if not df1.empty else df2

可能足以满足您的需求

与空DataFrame合并
