BUG: Incorrect behavior of binary operations when left/right operands have different type (Series/DataFrame) #37663

@prutskov

Description

@prutskov
  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.


Note: Please read this guide detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame([0,1,2]).append(pd.DataFrame([3,4,5]))
df.columns = ['a']
print(df - df.a)

Problem description

Why we can not to do binary operations when we work with DataFrame and Series(dataframe has 1 columns, len(df.index)==len(series.index)) with duplicated indexes? If left and right operands have the same type (DataFrame/DataFrame` for example) it works.
