Ran into a Python ValueError while merging Pandas DataFrames? Turns out, those sneaky null bytes can crash your party! Discover how to squash these bugs and keep your data flowing smoothly.

Hot Take:

Pandas DataFrames and null bytes: the modern-day peanut butter and jelly. Except this sandwich gives you indigestion and an existential crisis. Debugging this mess was like playing “Where’s Waldo?” with a blindfold on.

Key Points:

  • Pandas merge error due to non-unique values.
  • Null bytes found in dataset causing the error.
  • Issue arose when merging data from two different honeypots.
  • Debugging involved isolating faulty rows and examining raw logs.
  • Solution: Remove null bytes before merging.
