Something akin to the pandas dataframe update would have value - then you could create an empty array structure and populate it as necessary:

python import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame(index=range(5), columns=['a','b','c','d']) df2 = pd.DataFrame(index=range(3), columns=['a'], data=range(3)) df.update(df2)

a b c d 0 0 NaN NaN NaN 1 1 NaN NaN NaN 2 2 NaN NaN NaN 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN

But, not sure if empty array construction is supported?
