    This function is intended to compare two DataFrames and output any

    check_index_type : bool / string {'equiv'}, default 'equiv'
        Whether to check the Index class, dtype and inferred_type
        are identical.
    check_column_type : bool / string {'equiv'}, default 'equiv'
        Whether to check the columns class, dtype and inferred_type
        are identical. Is passed as the ``exact`` argument of
        :func:`assert_index_equal`.
    check_frame_type : bool, default True
        Whether to check the DataFrame class is identical.
    check_less_precise : bool or int, default False
        Specify comparison precision. Only used when check_exact is False.

        If int, then specify the digits to compare.
    check_names : bool, default True
        Whether to check that the `names` attribute for both the `index`
        and `column` attributes of the DataFrame is identical, i.e.

        * left.index.names == right.index.names
        * left.columns.names == right.columns.names
    by_blocks : bool, default False
        Specify how to compare internal data. If False, compare by columns.
        If True, compare by blocks.
    check_exact : bool, default False
        Whether to compare number exactly.
    check_datetimelike_compat : bool, default False
        Compare datetime-like which is comparable ignoring dtype.
    check_categorical : bool, default True
        Whether to compare internal Categorical exactly.
    check_like : bool, default False
        If True, ignore the order of index & columns.
        Note: index labels must match their respective rows
        (same as in columns) - same labels must be with the same data.
    obj : str, default 'DataFrame'
        Specify object name being compared, internally used to show appropriate
        assertion message.

    Label a test as requiring network connection and, if an error is
    encountered, only raise if it does not find a network connection.

    In comparison to ``network``, this assumes an added contract to your test:
    you must assert that, under normal conditions, your test will ONLY fail if
    it does not have network connectivity.

    You can call this in 3 ways: as a standard decorator, with keyword
    arguments, or with a positional argument that is the url to check.

    Parameters
    ----------
    t : callable
        The test requiring network connectivity.
    url : path
        The url to test via ``pandas.io.common.urlopen`` to check
        for connectivity. Defaults to 'http://www.google.com'.
    raise_on_error : bool
        If True, never catches errors.
    check_before_test : bool
        If True, checks connectivity before running the test case.
    error_classes : tuple or Exception
        error classes to ignore. If not in ``error_classes``, raises the error.
        defaults to IOError. Be careful about changing the error classes here.
    skip_errnos : iterable of int
        Any exception that has .errno or .reason.erno set to one
        of these values will be skipped with an appropriate
        message.
    _skip_on_messages: iterable of string
        any exception e for which one of the strings is
        a substring of str(e) will be skipped with an appropriate
        message. Intended to suppress errors where an errno isn't available.

    Notes
    -----
    * ``raise_on_error`` supercedes ``check_before_test``

    Returns
    -------
    t : callable
        The decorated test ``t``, with checks for connectivity errors.

    Example
    -------

    Tests decorated with @network will fail if it's possible to make a network
    connection to another URL (defaults to google.com)::

      >>> from pandas.util.testing import network
      >>> from pandas.io.common import urlopen
      >>> @network
      ... def test_network():
      ...     with urlopen("rabbit://bonanza.com"):
      ...         pass
      Traceback
         ...
      URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: rabit>

      You can specify alternative URLs::

        >>> @network("http://www.yahoo.com")
        ... def test_something_with_yahoo():
        ...    raise IOError("Failure Message")
        >>> test_something_with_yahoo()
        Traceback (most recent call last):
            ...
        IOError: Failure Message

    If you set check_before_test, it will check the url first and not run the
    test on failure::

        >>> @network("failing://url.blaher", check_before_test=True)
        ... def test_something():
        ...     print("I ran!")
        ...     raise ValueError("Failure")
        >>> test_something()

    Parameters
    ----------
    expected_warning : {Warning, False, None}, default Warning
        The type of Exception raised. ``exception.Warning`` is the base
        class for all warnings. To check that no warning is returned,

        Valid values are:

        * "error" - turns matching warnings into exceptions
        * "ignore" - discard the warning
        * "always" - always emit a warning
        * "default" - print the warning the first time it is generated
          from each location
        * "module" - print the warning the first time it is generated

        * "once" - print the warning the first time it is generated

    clear : str, default None
        If not ``None`` then remove any previously raised warnings from
        the ``__warningsregistry__`` to ensure that no warning messages are
        suppressed by this context manager. If ``None`` is specified,
        the ``__warningsregistry__`` keeps track of which warnings have been
        shown, and does not show them again.
    check_stacklevel : bool, default True
        If True, displays the line that called the function containing
        the warning to show were the function is called. Otherwise, the
