pandas.Series.index#
- Series.index#
The index (axis labels) of the Series.
The index of a Series is used to label and identify each element of the underlying data. The index can be thought of as an immutable ordered set (technically a multi-set, as it may contain duplicate labels), and is used to index and align data in pandas.
- Returns:
- Index
The index labels of the Series.

Examples
To create a Series with a custom index and view the index labels:
>>> cities = ['Kolkata', 'Chicago', 'Toronto', 'Lisbon'] >>> populations = [14.85, 2.71, 2.93, 0.51] >>> city_series = pd.Series(populations, index=cities) >>> city_series.index Index(['Kolkata', 'Chicago', 'Toronto', 'Lisbon'], dtype='object')
To change the index labels of an existing Series:
>>> city_series.index = ['KOL', 'CHI', 'TOR', 'LIS'] >>> city_series.index Index(['KOL', 'CHI', 'TOR', 'LIS'], dtype='object')
