Is there a way to set an option for auto-incrementing the index of pandas.DataFrame when adding new rows, or to define a function for managing creation of new indices?

If you'd like to select rows based on integer indexing, you can use the . iloc function. If you'd like to select rows based on label indexing, you can use the . loc function.
To change the index values we need to use the set_index method which is available in pandas allows specifying the indexes. where, inplace parameter accepts True or False, which specifies that change in index is permanent or temporary. True indicates that change is Permanent.
To set an index for a Pandas DataFrame, you can use the Pands . set_index method.
iloc is an integer-based method. This means that iloc will consider the names or labels of the index when we are slicing the dataframe.
You can set ignore_index=True when append-ing:
In [1]: df = pd.DataFrame([[1,2],[3,4]])
In [2]: row = pd.Series([5,6])
In [3]: df.append(row, ignore_index=True)
Out[3]:
0 1
0 1 2
1 3 4
2 5 6
