Diff between two dataframes in pandas

Question

I have two dataframes both of which have the same basic schema. (4 date fields, a couple of string fields, and 4-5 float fields). Call them df1 and df2

Answer 1

IIUC:
You can use pd.Index.symmetric_difference

pd.concat([df1, df2]).loc[
    df1.index.symmetric_difference(df2.index)
]
