# pandas.Index.is_

final Index.is_(other)

  More flexible, faster check like `is` but that works through views.

  Note: this is not the same as `Index.identical()`, which checks that metadata is also the same.

  Parameters:
    otherobject

      Other object to compare against.

  Returns:
    bool

      True if both have same underlying data, False otherwise.

  `Index.identical`

    Works like `Index.is_` but also checks metadata.

  Examples

      >>> idx1 = pd.Index(['1', '2', '3'])
      >>> idx1.is_(idx1.view())
      True

      >>> idx1.is_(idx1.copy())
      False
