BUG: Compare returns wrong results for nullable int type · Issue #44014 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd

df1 = pd.DataFrame({'a': [4, 4, 4], 'b': [1, 2, 3]}).astype({'a': 'float64', 'b': 'float64'})

Nullable int 'Int64' gives wrong results. 'int64' works just fine.

df2 = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [1, 2, 3]}).astype({'a': 'Int64', 'b': 'float64'})

df1.compare(df2, keep_shape=True)

Issue Description

The reproducible example returns

('a', 'self') ('a', 'other') ('b', 'self') ('b', 'other')
0 nan 1 nan nan
1 nan 2 nan nan
2 nan 3 nan nan

Expected Behavior

We expect the reproducible example to return

('a', 'self') ('a', 'other') ('b', 'self') ('b', 'other')
0 4 1 nan nan
1 4 2 nan nan
2 4 3 nan nan
