pandas.Index

class pandas.Index

Immutable ndarray implementing an ordered, sliceable set. The basic object storing axis labels for all pandas objects

Parameters :

data : array-like (1-dimensional)

dtype : NumPy dtype (default: object)

copy : bool

Make a copy of input ndarray

name : object

Name to be stored in the index

Notes

An Index instance can only contain hashable objects

data	Python buffer object pointing to the start of the array’s data.
flags
flat	A 1-D iterator over the array.
