Any reason why we don't use the default index (so we don't specify it), or we specify one sorted? May be I'm missing the point, but seems like this should have a meaning, but couldn't see with the rest of the example. If there is no reason (may be you just copied from an example where this was for something?), I'd just remove it, so we save some space and avoid distractions.

The indentation of the num_legs seems wrong, I think it should be indented to the level of name. When possible we'll start validating automatically PEP8 in the examples, so if we can get this fixed already, that would be great.

I find this too complicated for what we need to show. To have a Series with a multiindex with a datetime level, we can have something like:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'date': pd.to_datetime(['2018-01-01', '2018-01-01', '2018-01-02', '2018-01-02']),
                   'animal': ['falcon', 'parrot', 'falcon', 'parrot'],
                   'speed': [350, 18, 361, 15]}).set_index(['date', 'animal'])
df['speed']

I haven't used much xarray myself, and not sure what makes sense to show here. May be:

  • Series.to_xarray()
  • DataFrame.to_xarray()
  • DataFrame(with multiindex including datetime).to_xarray()

If that makes sense, I think with the first example, we can have df.to_xarray() and df['max_speed'].to_xarray(), and then a example like the one I wrote.

@jreback does this make sense?

Sorry for requesting the changes @Moisan, but my I find like the current version gives the idea that we're trying to show something more complex than what we are actually showing.

No problem, I'm happy to make the examples more relevant :).
