Pandas Dataframe keys to array

Question

I want an array of values from dataframe.keys() method. But it returns an Index object, that have the header values array as a member. But I want only that array, no other details.

header_values=features_dataframe.keys()
print(header_values)

Output

Index(['header1', 'header2', 'header3', 'header4', 'header5','Target'], dtype='object')

But I want

['header1', 'header2', 'header3', 'header4', 'header5','Target']

I'm Sorry, but I'm not looking for Index, instead looking for headers! — DevLoverUmar, Jul 12 '20 at 06:05

This answer is incorrect, it returns the index instead of the columns. – cs95 Jul 12 '20 at 06:13
