python - Creating a pandas DataFrame from columns of other DataFrames with similar indexes

I have 2 DataFrames df1 and df2 with the same column names ['a','b','c'] and indexed by dates. The date index can have similar values. I would like to create a DataFrame df3 with only the data from columns ['c'] renamed respectively 'df1' and 'df2' and with the correct date index. My problem is that I cannot get how to merge the index properly.

df1 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,3), index=pd.date_range('01/02/2014',periods=5,freq='D'), columns=['a','b','c'] )
df2 = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(8,3), index=pd.date_range('01/01/2014',periods=8,freq='D'), columns=['a','b','c'] )
df1
                 a        b            c
2014-01-02   0.580550    0.480814    1.135899
2014-01-03  -1.961033    0.546013    1.093204
2014-01-04   2.063441   -0.627297    2.035373
2014-01-05   0.319570    0.058588    0.350060
2014-01-06   1.318068   -0.802209   -0.939962

df2
                 a        b            c
2014-01-01   0.772482    0.899337    0.808630
2014-01-02   0.518431   -1.582113    0.323425
2014-01-03   0.112109    1.056705   -1.355067
2014-01-04   0.767257   -2.311014    0.340701
2014-01-05   0.794281   -1.954858    0.200922
2014-01-06   0.156088    0.718658   -1.030077
2014-01-07   1.621059    0.106656   -0.472080
2014-01-08  -2.061138   -2.023157    0.257151

The df3 DataFrame should have the following form :

df3
                 df1        df2
2014-01-01   NaN        0.808630
2014-01-02   1.135899   0.323425
2014-01-03   1.093204   -1.355067
2014-01-04   2.035373   0.340701
2014-01-05   0.350060   0.200922
2014-01-06   -0.939962  -1.030077
2014-01-07   NaN        -0.472080
2014-01-08   NaN        0.257151

But with NaN in the df1 column as the date index of df2 is wider. (In this example, I would get NaN for the ollowing dates : 2014-01-01, 2014-01-07 and 2014-01-08)

Thanks for your help.

You can use concat:

In [11]: pd.concat([df1['c'], df2['c']], axis=1, keys=['df1', 'df2'])
Out[11]: 
                 df1       df2
2014-01-01       NaN -0.978535
2014-01-02 -0.106510 -0.519239
2014-01-03 -0.846100 -0.313153
2014-01-04 -0.014253 -1.040702
2014-01-05  0.315156 -0.329967
2014-01-06 -0.510577 -0.940901
2014-01-07       NaN -0.024608
2014-01-08       NaN -1.791899

[8 rows x 2 columns]

The axis argument determines the way the DataFrames are stacked:

df1 = pd.DataFrame([1, 2, 3])
df2 = pd.DataFrame(['a', 'b', 'c'])

pd.concat([df1, df2], axis=0)
   0
0  1
1  2
2  3
0  a
1  b
2  c

pd.concat([df1, df2], axis=1)

   0  0
0  1  a
1  2  b
2  3  c
