Replace values in pandas Series with dictionary

Question

I want to replace values in a pandas Series using a dictionary. I\'m following @DSM\'s accepted answer like so:

s = Series([\'abc\', \'abe\', \'

You can do it using regex=True parameter:

In [37]: s.replace(d, regex=True)
Out[37]:
0    aBc
1    aBe
2    aBg
dtype: object

As you have already found out yourself - it's a RegEx replacement and it won't work as you expected:

In [36]: s.replace(d)
Out[36]:
0    abc
1    abe
2    abg
dtype: object

this is working as expected:

In [38]: s.replace({'abc':'ABC'})
Out[38]:
0    ABC
1    abe
2    abg
dtype: object
