# Series class


class Series(base.IndexOpsMixin, strings.StringAccessorMixin,

    """
    One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels (including time series).

    Labels need not be unique but must be a hashable type. The object
    supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of
    methods for performing operations involving the index. Statistical
    methods from ndarray have been overridden to automatically exclude
    missing data (currently represented as NaN).

    Operations between Series (+, -, /, *, **) align values based on their
    associated index values-- they need not be the same length. The result
    index will be the sorted union of the two indexes.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array-like, dict, or scalar value
        Contains data stored in Series
    index : array-like or Index (1d)
        Values must be hashable and have the same length as `data`.
        Non-unique index values are allowed. Will default to
        RangeIndex(len(data)) if not provided. If both a dict and index
        sequence are used, the index will override the keys found in the
        dict.
    dtype : numpy.dtype or None
        If None, dtype will be inferred

        Read CSV file (DISCOURAGED, please use :func:`pandas.read_csv`

        It is preferable to use the more powerful :func:`pandas.read_csv`

        roundtrip to and from a file (the exact counterpart of

        This method only differs from :func:`pandas.read_csv` in some defaults:

        - `index_col` is ``0`` instead of ``None`` (take first column as index
          by default)
        - `header` is ``None`` instead of ``0`` (the first row is not used as
          the column names)
        - `parse_dates` is ``True`` instead of ``False`` (try parsing the index
          as datetime by default)

        With :func:`pandas.read_csv`, the option ``squeeze=True`` can be used
        to return a Series like ``from_csv``.

        Parameters
        ----------
        path : string file path or file handle / StringIO
        sep : string, default ','
            Field delimiter
        parse_dates : boolean, default True
            Parse dates. Different default from read_table
        header : int, default None
            Row to use as header (skip prior rows)
        index_col : int or sequence, default 0
            Column to use for index. If a sequence is given, a MultiIndex
            is used. Different default from read_table
        encoding : string, optional
            a string representing the encoding to use if the contents are
            non-ascii, for python versions prior to 3
        infer_datetime_format: boolean, default False
            If True and `parse_dates` is True for a column, try to infer the
            datetime format based on the first datetime string. If the format
            can be inferred, there often will be a large parsing speed-up.
