Pandas Dataframe Find Rows Where all Columns Equal

I think the cleanest way is to check all columns against the first column using eq:

In [11]: df
Out[11]: 
   a  b  c  d
0  C  C  C  C
1  C  C  A  A
2  A  A  A  A

In [12]: df.iloc[:, 0]
Out[12]: 
0    C
1    C
2    A
Name: a, dtype: object

In [13]: df.eq(df.iloc[:, 0], axis=0)
Out[13]: 
      a     b      c      d
0  True  True   True   True
1  True  True  False  False
2  True  True   True   True

Now you can use all (if they are all equal to the first item, they are all equal):

In [14]: df.eq(df.iloc[:, 0], axis=0).all(1)
Out[14]: 
0     True
1    False
2     True
dtype: bool

nunique: New in version 0.20.0.(Base on timing benchmark from Jez , if performance is not important you can using this one)

df.nunique(axis = 1).eq(1)
Out[308]: 
0     True
1    False
2     True
dtype: bool

Or you can using map with set

list(map(lambda x : len(set(x))==1,df.values))

Compare array by first column and check if all Trues per row:

Same solution in numpy for better performance:

a = df.values
b = (a == a[:, [0]]).all(axis=1)
print (b)
[ True  True False]

And if need Series:

s = pd.Series(b, axis=df.index)

Comparing solutions:

data = [[10,10,10],[12,12,12],[10,12,10]]
df = pd.DataFrame(data,columns=['Col1','Col2','Col3'])

#[30000 rows x 3 columns]
df = pd.concat([df] * 10000, ignore_index=True)
