package for advanced data joins? /u/BigCountry1227 Python Education

i am working with pandas dataframes, and i need to do a medley of complex merge/join/concat/update/etc operations.

i need features like preventing missing keys from matching, performing “update merges,” matching on one col or the other (but not both), etc.

it is possible to create workarounds using the standard pandas libraries, but it’s super tedious.

is there a well-supported package out there for complex join operations?

i asked chatgpt, but no luck. any insight would be appreciated!

thanks all!
