```
In [3]: df = DataFrame({'one':[2,1,1,1],'two':[1,3,2,4],'three':[5,4,3,2]})

In [7]: df.columns = MultiIndex.from_tuples([('a','one'),('a','two'),('b','three')])

In [8]: df
Out[8]: 
     a           b
   one  two  three
0    2    5      1
1    1    4      3
2    1    3      2
3    1    2      4

[4 rows x 3 columns]
```

These are now equivalent. Used to be able to do only the 2nd.

```
