How do I get the name of the rows from the index of a data frame

Question

Consider a data frame with row names that aren t a column of their own per se  such as the following           X  Y  Row 1  0  5  Row 2  8  1  Row 3  3  0   How would I extract the name of these rows as a list  if I have their index  For example  it would look something like    function name dataframe indices    gt    Row 1    Row 2

If you want to pull out only the index values for certain integer-based row-indices  you can do something like the following using the iloc method   In  28   temp Out 28          index                 time  complete row 0      2  2014-10-22 01 00 00         0 row 1      3  2014-10-23 14 00 00         0 row 2      4  2014-10-26 08 00 00         0 row 3      5  2014-10-26 10 00 00         0 row 4      6  2014-10-26 11 00 00         0  In  29   temp iloc  0 1 4   index Out 29   Index  u row 0   u row 1   u row 4    dtype  object    In  30   temp iloc  0 1 4   index tolist   Out 30     row 0    row 1    row 4
