python - 执行涉及索引和列的 Pandas 连接的最干净的方法

Question

假设我想通过加入一个未命名的索引和一个列(这里是“标识符”)来合并(concat？)两个 pandas 表。有没有一种干净的方法可以做到这一点？

                               tvType         identifier 
2014-04-08 12:05:00  TMM_ISPREAD  ISIN: US92344GAS57

                                   tv         identifier 
2014-04-08 12:05:00  131.957086  ISIN:US92344GAS57

2014-04-08 12:20:00  131.920969  ISIN:US92344GAS75

说清楚，我想说的是

                               tv         identifier       tvType
2014-04-08 12:05:00  131.957086  ISIN:US92344GAS57  TMM_ISPREAD
2014-04-08 12:10:00  131.932117  ISIN:US92344GAS57  TMM_ISPREAD
2014-04-08 12:15:00  131.945260  ISIN:US92344GAS57  TMM_ISPREAD
2014-04-08 12:20:00  131.888946  ISIN:US92344GAS57  TMM_ISPREAD
2014-04-08 12:20:00  131.920969  ISIN:US92344GAS75  OTHER

而我的看似繁琐的方式是

dfTv['time_index']     = dfTv.index
dfTvType['time_index'] = dfTvType.index
df = pd.merge( dfTv, dfTvType, on = ['identifier','time_index'] )
df = df.set_index(['time_index'])

(命名索引 - 这不是我真正想要的副作用)

也只需提供 left_index 和 right_index:

print df1

In [98]:

print pd.merge(df2, df1, on = ['identifier'], left_index=True, right_index=True)
