    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'))

        Parameters
        ----------
        keep : {'first', 'last', False}, default 'first'
            The value or values in a set of duplicates to mark as missing.

            - 'first' : Mark duplicates as ``True`` except for the first

        Notes
        -----
        In the case of `MultiIndex` you must either specify `values` as a
        list-like object containing tuples that are the same length as the
        number of levels, or specify `level`. Otherwise it will raise a
        ``ValueError``.

        If `level` is specified:

        - if it is the name of one *and only one* index level, use that level;
        - otherwise it should be a number indicating level position.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> idx = pd.Index([1,2,3])
        >>> idx
        Int64Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')

        Check whether each index value in a list of values.

        >>> idx.isin([1, 4])
        array([ True, False, False])

        >>> midx = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([[1,2,3],
        ...                                  ['red', 'blue', 'green']],
        ...                                  names=('number', 'color'))
        >>> midx
        MultiIndex([(1,   'red'),
                    (2,  'blue'),
                    (3, 'green')],
                   names=['number', 'color'])

        Check whether the strings in the 'color' level of the MultiIndex
        are in a list of colors.

        >>> midx.isin(['red', 'orange', 'yellow'], level='color')
        array([ True, False, False])

        To check across the levels of a MultiIndex, pass a list of tuples:

        >>> midx.isin([(1, 'red'), (3, 'red')])
        array([ True, False, False])

        For a DatetimeIndex, string values in `values` are converted to
        Timestamps.

        >>> dates = ['2000-03-11', '2000-03-12', '2000-03-13']
        >>> dti = pd.to_datetime(dates)
        >>> dti
        DatetimeIndex(['2000-03-11', '2000-03-12', '2000-03-13'],
        dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)

        >>> dti.isin(['2000-03-11'])
        array([ True, False, False])
