DEPR: Index.get_value ? · Issue #19728 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Index.get_value is a very strange (from user perspective), and completely undocumented method, so let's rename it to _get_value for internal usage and deprecate the public one?

Example usage to show its 'not-usefulness':

In [85]: idx = pd.Index([1, 2, 3])

In [87]: idx.get_value(np.array([0, 1, 2]), 2)
Out[87]: 1

(so you can index into another object based on the location of the key in the calling index)
