Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
# toy data
x = [0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4]
y = pd.qcut(sorted(np.unique(x), reverse=True), 5, labels=np.arange(5, 0, -1)) # size 5 only!
table = pd.DataFrame()
table['col_1'] = x # size 7
table['col_2'] = y # size 5!
Problem description
I'm assigning vectors with mismatched sizes to the dataframe. I'm not even specifying the index to assign it. This became a problem because it didn't raise any error. I was expecting it to raise an error or a warning. This can be a problem for code using table.
Expected Output
Raise some error upon this mismatched assignment. The error can be generated if I only call:
table

Thanks for the report - this is a duplicate of #13696 - PR to fix welcome.
Comment From: jreback
thanks, yes this is a bug, duplicate of #13696 pull-requests to fix are welcome.
I think this should raise as this is a non-labeled array.
@chris-b1 beat me too it!
