Remove index name in pandas
I have a dataframe like this one: In [10]: df Out[10]: Column 1 foo Apples 1 Oranges 2 Puppies 3 Ducks 4 How to remove index name foo from that dataframe? The desired output is like this: In [10]: df Out[10]: Column 1 Apples 1 Oranges 2 Puppies 3 Ducks 4 Use del df.index.name In [16]: df Out[16]: Column 1 foo Apples 1 Oranges 2 Puppies 3 Ducks 4 In [17]: del df.index.name In [18]: df Out[18]: Column 1 Apples 1 Oranges 2 Puppies 3 Ducks 4 Alternatively you can just assign None to the index.name attribute: In [125]: df.index.name = None df Out[125]: Column 1 Apples 1 Oranges 2 Puppies 3 Ducks 4
