python - What is the name parameter in Pandas Series? -

in doc of series, use parameter of name , fastpath not explained. do?

the name argument allows give name series object, i.e. column. when you'll put in dataframe, column named according name parameter.

example:

in [1]: s = pd.series(["a","b","c"], name="foo")  in [2]: s out[2]:  0    1    b 2    c name: foo, dtype: object  in [3]: pd.dataframe(s) out[4]:    foo 0   1   b 2   c 

if don't give name series named automatically. here 0 in dataframe object:

   0 0  1  b 2  c 

for fastpath, it's internal parameter , issue has been reported :
