>>> midx  
MultiIndex([('a', 'b', 1),
            ('x', 'y', 2)],
           )
>>> midx.droplevel([0, 1])
Index([1, 2], dtype='int64')
>>> midx.droplevel(0)  
MultiIndex([('b', 1),
            ('y', 2)],
           )
>>> midx.names = [("a", "b"), "b", "c"]
>>> midx.droplevel([('a', 'b')])  
MultiIndex([('b', 1),
            ('y', 2)],
