how to convert an array to an index in python

Question

I had some code in which I had a Pandas Series, called index, and I dropped values from that using tickers.drop()

It was of the form:

Index([u'EUR3m', u'EUR3m3m', u'EUR6m3m', u'EUR9m3m', u'EUR1y', u'EUR1y1y',
       u'EUR2y1y'],
      dtype='object')

However, I am rewriting some code, and in this instance, I only have an array:

array([u'EUR3m', u'EUR3m3m', u'EUR6m3m', u'EUR9m3m', u'EUR1y', u'EUR1y1y',
       u'EUR2y1y'], dtype=object)

I cant locate the function to convert from array to index?

I think converting to Index is not necessary, simply assign it or use DataFrame.set_index:

df.index = arr

Or:

df = df.set_index(arr)
