pandas merge names columns code example

Example 1: pandas merge python

import pandas as pd
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'lkey': ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'foo'],
                    'value': [1, 2, 3, 5]})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'rkey': ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'foo'],
                    'value': [5, 6, 7, 8]})
df1.merge(df2, left_on='lkey', right_on='rkey')

Example 2: merge dataframe pandas

>>> df1.merge(df2, left_on='lkey', right_on='rkey')
  lkey  value_x rkey  value_y
0  foo        1  foo        5
1  foo        1  foo        8
2  foo        5  foo        5
