Why do I get: "Length of values does not match length of index" error?
<p>I have the following code and I'm trying to assign <code>True</code> to a new Column where Actual Date equals the Date in Column 'D' (Date created) and <code>False</code> to any other.</p>

<p>I'm quite new to Python so I would like to understand what I have done wrong:</p>

<pre><code>def GetData():
    myList = GetFileList(TodaysDate,5)
    NewDataFrame  = pd.DataFrame()
    for x in myList:
        #The date of the actuals data is the day BEFORE it was created  
        ActualDate = getDate(x) - timedelta(days=1)

        myTempData = pd.read_csv(WSIWeatherDir + "\\" + x, parse_dates = [" date"], date_parser = DateTimeParser)

        myTempData = myTempData.replace(-99,np.nan)
        myTempData = myTempData.loc[myTempData['name'].isin(NL_WeatherStations)]
        myTempData['D'] = myTempData[' date'].dt.date

        #MyData = myTempData.sort([' date'], ascending=True)
        #print MyData

        #Select indices of the weather file where the column " date" is equal to the actual date we are looking for
        MyActualIndex = myTempData['D'] == ActualDate
        MyActualData = myTempData[MyActualIndex]


        MyExpectedIndex = myTempData.index.difference(MyActualData.index)
        MyExpectedData =  myTempData.loc[MyExpectedIndex] 

        myTempData ['Actuals'] = [True] * len(MyActualData.index)
        myTempData ['Actuals'] = [False] * len(MyExpectedData.index)

        NewDataFrame = pd.concat([NewDataFrame,myTempData])
    return NewDataFrame
print GetData()
