As pointed in #7041, I prepared a PR to add
factorizetoIndexOpsMixin.As a side benefit,
Multiindex.from_arrayscan preserve originalDatetimeIndex.freqandtz. (Related to #3950 and #6606. These issues are not solved yet because these use different methods to createMultiIndex).I would like to confirm following points before adding more tests.
Index.factorizeandSeries.factorizeshould return as unique values,ndarrayorIndex? I think it should returnIndexto preserveDatetimeIndexattributes (freqandtz).api.rst?
