python dataframe index 两维,python-熊猫-Dataframe.set_index-如何保留旧的索引列

I have this Dataframe:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'Hugo' : {'age' : 21, 'weight' : 75},

'Bertram': {'age' : 45, 'weight' : 65},

'Donald' : {'age' : 75, 'weight' : 85}}).T

df.index.names = ['name']

age weight

name

Bertram 45 65

Donald 75 85

Hugo 21 75

I want to change the index to the column 'age':

df.set_index('age', inplace=True)

weight

age

45 65

75 85

21 75

The old index-column name gets lost. Is there a way to change the index without losing the original index-column and getting the old column as 'normal' column again, so that it looks like this?

name weight

age

45 Bertram 65

75 Donald 85

21 Hugo 75

解决方案df = df.reset_index().set_index('age')

print (df)

name weight

age

45 Bertram 65

75 Donald 85

21 Hugo 75
