Pandas version checks
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"x": [1, 2]})
df.index = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(
[pd.Categorical(np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.uint64))]
)
df2.index = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(
[pd.Categorical(np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.int64))]
)
pd.testing.assert_frame_equal(df, df2, check_categorical=False, check_index_type=False)
Issue Description
When testing two indices and I ask to not check index type I don't think it should check the type of categories of the of type of an index level either.
Note that for a normal index things behave better:
df = pd.DataFrame({"x": [1, 2]})
df.index = pd.Index(pd.Categorical(np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.int64)))
df2.index = pd.Index(pd.Categorical(np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.uint64)))
pd.testing.assert_frame_equal(df, df2, check_categorical=False)
Passes as I'd expect.
Expected Behavior
df = pd.DataFrame({"x": [1, 2]})
df.index = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(
[pd.Categorical(np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.uint64))]
)
df2.index = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(
[pd.Categorical(np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.int64))]
)
pd.testing.assert_frame_equal(df, df2, check_categorical=False, check_index_type=False)
Expected behavior: passes. Nothing is printed.
Actual behavior:
AssertionError Traceback (most recent call last)

3 [pd.Categorical(np.array([1, 2], dtype=np.uint64))]
