Root Cause

An operation like reindex, join, or merge on axis=0 hit duplicate index labels. Common after concat of frames that each carry their own index.

generic

中文

reindex、join 或按 axis=0 的 merge 操作遇到重复索引标签。常见于 concat 多个各带索引的 DataFrame 后。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    df = df.reset_index(drop=True) before reindex/merge
  2. 90% success 
    df = df[~df.index.duplicated(keep='first')]

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 85% fail

    Sorting doesn't remove duplicates

  2. 90% fail

    Still requires unique index
