Examples

To create a Series with a custom index and view the index labels:

>>>cities=['Kolkata','Chicago','Toronto','Lisbon']>>>populations=[14.85,2.71,2.93,0.51]>>>city_series=pd.Series(populations,index=cities)>>>city_series.indexIndex(['Kolkata', 'Chicago', 'Toronto', 'Lisbon'], dtype='object')

To change the index labels of an existing Series:

>>>city_series.index=['KOL','CHI','TOR','LIS']>>>city_series.indexIndex(['KOL', 'CHI', 'TOR', 'LIS'], dtype='object')
