Description
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 pandas as pd
data = [
{"f_0": "2015-07-01", "f_2": "08335394550"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-02", "f_2": "+49 (0) 0345 300033"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-03", "f_2": "+49(0)2598 04457"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-04", "f_2": "0741470003"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-05", "f_2": "04181 83668"},
]
dtypes = dict(f_0='datetime64[ns]', f_2='string')
df = pd.DataFrame(data=data).astype(dtypes)
df['f_0'].eq(df['f_2'])OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum
Issue Description
Applying an equal comparison between datetime and string columns can result in different behaviors. In the example above, the comparison results in an overflow error, whereas in the example below, the comparison results in the expected boolean column. Both examples compare the same data types but yield different behaviors.
data = [
{"f_0": "2015-07-01", "f_2": "a"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-02", "f_2": "b"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-03", "f_2": "c"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-04", "f_2": "d"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-05", "f_2": "e"},
]
dtypes = dict(f_0='datetime64[ns]', f_2='string')
df = pd.DataFrame(data=data).astype(dtypes)
df['f_0'].eq(df['f_2'])0 False
1 False
2 False
3 False
4 False
dtype: bool
Expected Behavior
I'd expect the output to also be a boolean column.
import pandas as pd
data = [
{"f_0": "2015-07-01", "f_2": "08335394550"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-02", "f_2": "+49 (0) 0345 300033"},

{"f_0": "2015-07-04", "f_2": "0741470003"},
{"f_0": "2015-07-05", "f_2": "04181 83668"},
]
dtypes = dict(f_0='datetime64[ns]', f_2='string')
df = pd.DataFrame(data=data).astype(dtypes)
df['f_0'].eq(df['f_2'])0 False
1 False
2 False
3 False
4 False
