ENHANCEMENT: to_clipboard(index=False)

Commonly in my work I am pasting a column of data into another program that I have no api for as an input. I cannot have the index index in the input. I will generally use the .to_clipboard() method paste in excel, then copy the column from excel. I would really like to avoid opening another program to solve this problem. Would there be a way to add a keyword argument such that the index is not copied to the clipboard?

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,2,3,4]})
df.to_clipboard(index=False)

Expected Output

Values in clipboard

a
1
2
3
4

rather than

    a
0   1
1   2
2   3
3   4

Output of pd.show_versions()

df = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,2,3,4]})
df.to_clipboard(index=False)
It works for me in pandas 0.19. I believe `to_clipboard` usually accepts the same arguments as `to_csv`. **Comment From: jreback** yep this is a usage issue **Comment From: WaylonWalker** Thanks guys. The wording in the question was a mistake on my behalf. I never realized that to_clipboard() took index as a parameter. Thanks for the enlightenment this will save me time. After taking a look through the source code I now see that it will take **kwargs from to_csv or to_string depending on if excel is True. That makes it much more sense, and gives me a whole new list of options when using to_clipboard()
