I have two data frames with the same column names and the same indices. Each entry in the data frames is an int or a float. I would like to combine the data frames into a single data frame. I would like each entry of this data frame to be a list containing the individual elements from the separate data frames.
As an example, df1 and df2 are the original data frames:
A B
df1 = 0 0 1
A B
df2 = 0 2 3
I would like to produce the following dataframe:
A B
df3 = 0 [0, 2] [1, 3]
I tried the following:
merger = lambda s1, s2: s1.append(s2)
df1.combine(df2, merger)
This gives me the error:
ValueError: cannot reindex from a duplicate axis
I can think of a few ways to do it with loops but I'd like to avoid that if possible. It seems like this is something that should be built into pandas.
Cheers
