Trouble when Dissolving Geopandas Polygons

Question

I have dissolved polygons with geopandas. However, the head of attribute table became values of this table.

How can I fix this trouble?

See:

Answer 1

Simple dissolve by GeoDataFrame field (Aggregation with dissolve)

import geopandas as gpd
world = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres'))
continents = world.dissolve('continent')
continents.head(3)

But if we use as_index=False from Pandas DataFrame.groupby

continents2 = world.dissolve('continent', as_index=False)
continents2.head(3)

Examine the GeoPandas test_dissolve.py script

New

It is a problem of indexing in DataFrame.groupby

import geopandas as gpd
world = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres'))
continents = world.dissolve('continent')
type(continents)
<class 'geopandas.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame'>
continents.index
Index([u'Africa', u'Antarctica', u'Asia', u'Europe', u'North America',
   u'Oceania', u'Seven seas (open ocean)', u'South America'],
  dtype='object', name=u'continent')

continents is a GeoDataFrame with a hierarchical index

With

 continents2 = world.dissolve('continent', as_index=False)

You eliminate the hierarchical index and you have the columns again
