DataFrame.reset_index deletes index, does not all for ints as level arg · Issue #16263 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd import numpy as np pd.version

u'0.20.1'

data = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(4,4), columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']) data
