pandas.PeriodIndex

class pandas.PeriodIndex(data=None, ordinal=None, freq=None, tz=None, dtype=None, copy=False, name=None, **fields)

Immutable ndarray holding ordinal values indicating regular periods in time.

Index keys are boxed to Period objects which carries the metadata (eg, frequency information).

Parameters

dataarray-like (1d int np.ndarray or PeriodArray), optional

Optional period-like data to construct index with.

copybool

Make a copy of input ndarray.

freqstr or period object, optional

One of pandas period strings or corresponding objects.
