Merge dataframes without duplicating rows in python pandas [duplicate]

Answer 1

Let us create a new variable g, by cumcount

df1['g']=df1.groupby('A').cumcount()
df2['g']=df2.groupby('A').cumcount()
df1.merge(df2,how='outer').drop('g',1)
Out[62]: 
     A    B    C
0    I  1.0  4.0
1    I  2.0  NaN
2   II  3.0  5.0
3  III  NaN  6.0
