# pandas.Index.is

`Index.``is_`(other)

  More flexible, faster check like `is` but that works through views

  Note: this is not the same as `Index.identical()`, which checks that metadata is also the same.

  Parameters : | other : object other object to compare against.
  Returns : | True if both have same underlying data, False otherwise : bool
