DOC: pivot function

[jesrael]

In docs DataFrame.pivot is a bit unclear, what means object:

index : string or object, optional

Column name to use to make new frame’s index. If None, uses existing index.

columns : string or object

Column name to use to make new frame’s columns

values : string or object, optional

Is it Multiindex ? Or None ? Or Series?

SO question

[jesrael]

Also I check pandas.pivot

index : ndarray
Labels to use to make new frame’s index

columns : ndarray
Labels to use to make new frame’s columns

values : ndarray
Values to use for populating new frame’s values

Input are Series or numpy arrays ?

DataFrame.pivot

string or array-like, optional

pandas.pivot

array-like is acceptable input

If you want to do a PR would be great. even better would be to add some more examples!

has a comment w.r.t. doc-string as well: #8160

This issue is solved by deleting dataframe.pivot part in v.0.24.0, so it would be better to close this issue
