    Immutable ndarray implementing an ordered, sliceable set. The basic object

    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 :class:`Categorical` s.
    MultiIndex : A multi-level, or hierarchical Index.
    IntervalIndex : An Index of :class:`Interval` s.
    DatetimeIndex : Index of datetime64 data.
    TimedeltaIndex : Index of timedelta64 data.
    PeriodIndex : Index of Period data.
    Int64Index : A special case of :class:`Index` with purely integer labels.
    UInt64Index : A special case of :class:`Index` with purely unsigned integer labels.
    Float64Index : A special case of :class:`Index` with purely float labels.

    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'))

        Examples
        --------
        By default, for each set of duplicated values, the first occurrence is

        By using 'last', the last occurrence of each set of duplicated values
        is set on False and all others on True:

        >>> idx.duplicated(keep='last')
        array([ True, False,  True, False, False])

        By setting keep on ``False``, all duplicates are True:
