pandas.Index   classpandas.Index(data=None, dtype=None, copy=False, name=None, tupleize_cols=True, **kwargs)[source]
 
Immutable sequence used for indexing and alignment. The basic object storing axis labels for all pandas objects.  Parameters 
 
data:array-like (1-dimensional)


dtype:NumPy dtype (default: object)


If dtype is None, we find the dtype that best fits the data. If an actual dtype is provided, we coerce to that dtype if it’s safe. Otherwise, an error will be raised.  
copy:bool


Make a copy of input ndarray.  
name:object


Name to be stored in the index.  
tupleize_cols:bool (default: True)


When True, attempt to create a MultiIndex if possible.      See also  RangeIndex

Index implementing a monotonic integer range.  CategoricalIndex

Index of Categorical s.  MultiIndex

A multi-level, or hierarchical Index.  IntervalIndex

An Index of Interval s.  DatetimeIndex

Index of datetime64 data.  TimedeltaIndex

Index of timedelta64 data.  PeriodIndex

Index of Period data.  NumericIndex

Index of numpy int/uint/float data.  Int64Index

Index of purely int64 labels (deprecated).  UInt64Index

Index of purely uint64 labels (deprecated).  Float64Index

Index of purely float64 labels (deprecated).    Notes An Index instance can only contain hashable objects Examples 
>>> pd.Index([1, 2, 3])
Int64Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
  
>>> pd.Index(list('abc'))
Index(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='object')
