pandas.testing.assert_index_equal(left, right, exact='equiv', check_names=True, check_less_precise=<object object>, check_exact=True, check_categorical=True, rtol=1e-05, atol=1e-08, obj='Index')[source]

Check that left and right Index are equal.

Parameters
leftIndex
rightIndex
exactbool or {‘equiv’}, default ‘equiv’

Whether to check the Index class, dtype and inferred_type are identical. If ‘equiv’, then RangeIndex can be substituted for Int64Index as well.

check_namesbool, default True

Whether to check the names attribute.

check_less_precisebool or int, default False

Specify comparison precision. Only used when check_exact is False. 5 digits (False) or 3 digits (True) after decimal points are compared. If int, then specify the digits to compare.

Deprecated since version 1.1.0: Use rtol and atol instead to define relative/absolute tolerance, respectively. Similar to math.isclose().

check_exactbool, default True

Whether to compare number exactly.

check_categoricalbool, default True

Whether to compare internal Categorical exactly.

rtolfloat, default 1e-5

Relative tolerance. Only used when check_exact is False.

New in version 1.1.0.

atolfloat, default 1e-8

Absolute tolerance. Only used when check_exact is False.

New in version 1.1.0.

objstr, default ‘Index’

Specify object name being compared, internally used to show appropriate assertion message.
