pandas.DataFrame.copy

DataFrame.copy(deep=True)

Make a copy of this objects data.

Parameters:

deep : boolean or string, default True

Make a deep copy, including a copy of the data and the indices. With deep=False neither the indices or the data are copied.

Note that when deep=True data is copied, actual python objects will not be copied recursively, only the reference to the object. This is in contrast to copy.deepcopy in the Standard Library, which recursively copies object data.

Returns:

copy : type of caller
