BUG: Binary operations (__and__, __or__, etc.) do not take parameter axis and fail

[YarShev]

• 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

# Your code here
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame([1, 1])
a = np.array([0, 1])
df.__and__(a, axis=0)
TypeError: new_method() got an unexpected keyword argument 'axis'

Problem description

This worked in pandas 1.1.5

Expected Output

df.__and__(a, axis=0)
   0
0  0
1  1

It appears this was an intentional change #36796 (comment)

@jorisvandenbossche potential discussion item for dev meeting tomorrow.

The dunder methods are not meant to call directly like that, so we shouldn't guarantee any stability here IMO

[jorisvandenbossche]

Alternative solution for when the right array operand is not exactly shape-aligned to avoid the axis:

Reshape (and potentially broadcast) the array so it automatically aligns on the index dimension (axis=0):

In [5]: df & a.reshape(-1, 1)
Out[5]: 
   0
0  0
1  1

You need to do the same when using ufuncs like np.logical_and (those also don't have an axis keyword, and need correctly shaped arrays to ensure shapes are matching / broadcasting is possible).

[jorisvandenbossche]

So give that it's a dunder method that shouldn't be called directly, and given that there are alternatives, I think it is fine to close this issue.

(note, we could still discuss separately if we want to add a "flex" method for those logical operations, like we have a df.add(..) method that is equivalent to __add__ but with more flexibility and keywords)
