Renaming columns in pandas

Question

I have a DataFrame using pandas and column labels that I need to edit to replace the original column labels.

I\'d like to change the column names in a DataFrame

Answer 1

Assuming you can use regular expression. This solution removes the need of manual encoding using regex

import pandas as pd
import re

srch=re.compile(r"\w+")

data=pd.read_csv("CSV_FILE.csv")
cols=data.columns
new_cols=list(map(lambda v:v.group(),(list(map(srch.search,cols)))))
data.columns=new_cols
