xarray.Index.equals

Index.equals(other, **kwargs)

Compare this index with another index of the same type.

Implementation is optional but required in order to support alignment.

Parameters:

• other (Index) – The other Index object to compare with this object.

• exclude (frozenset of hashable, optional) – Dimensions excluded from checking. It is None by default, (i.e., when this method is not called in the context of alignment). For a n-dimensional index this option allows an Index to optionally ignore any dimension in exclude when comparing self with other. For a 1-dimensional index this kwarg can be safely ignored, as this method is not called when all of the index’s dimensions are also excluded from alignment (note: the index’s dimensions correspond to the union of the dimensions of all coordinate variables associated with this index).

Returns:

is_equal (bool) – True if the indexes are equal, False otherwise.
