How to get rid of multilevel index after using pivot table pandas?

Question

You need remove only index name, use rename_axis (new in pandas 0.18.0):

print (reshaped_df)
sale_product_id  1    8    52   312  315
sale_user_id                            
1                  1    1    1    5    1

print (reshaped_df.index.name)
sale_user_id

print (reshaped_df.rename_axis(None))
sale_product_id  1    8    52   312  315
1                  1    1    1    5    1

Another solution working in pandas below 0.18.0:

reshaped_df.index.name = None
print (reshaped_df)

sale_product_id  1    8    52   312  315
1                  1    1    1    5    1

If need remove columns name also:

print (reshaped_df.columns.name)
sale_product_id

print (reshaped_df.rename_axis(None).rename_axis(None, axis=1))
   1    8    52   312  315
1    1    1    1    5    1

Another solution:

reshaped_df.columns.name = None
reshaped_df.index.name = None
print (reshaped_df)
   1    8    52   312  315
1    1    1    1    5    1

EDIT by comment:

You need reset_index with parameter drop=True:

reshaped_df = reshaped_df.reset_index(drop=True)
print (reshaped_df)
sale_product_id  1    8    52   312  315
0                  1    1    1    5    1

#if need reset index nad remove column name
reshaped_df = reshaped_df.reset_index(drop=True).rename_axis(None, axis=1)
print (reshaped_df)
   1    8    52   312  315
0    1    1    1    5    1

Of if need remove only column name:

reshaped_df = reshaped_df.rename_axis(None, axis=1)
print (reshaped_df)
              1    8    52   312  315
sale_user_id                         
1               1    1    1    5    1

Edit1:

So if need create new column from index and remove columns names:

reshaped_df =  reshaped_df.rename_axis(None, axis=1).reset_index() 
print (reshaped_df)
   sale_user_id  1  8  52  312  315
0             1  1  1   1    5    1
