Check for proper reset_index

[sbrugman]

Try to respond to as many of the following as possible

Generally describe the pandas behavior that the linter should check for and why that is a problem. Links to resources, recommendations, docs appreciated

Users may not know how to properly reset the index, and come up with home-brew solutions. Not that frequent, but encountered it in an internal code base.

Suggest specific syntax or pattern(s) that should trigger the linter (e.g., .iat)

df.index = np.arange(0, len(df))

Suggest specific syntax or pattern(s) that the linter should allow (e.g., .iloc)

df = df.reset_index(drop=True)

Suggest a specific error message that the linter should display (e.g., "Use '.iloc' instead of '.iat'. If speed is important, use numpy indexing")

Are you willing to try to implement this check?

• Yes
• No
• Maybe, with some guidance
• Maybe, but not at this moment
