equivalent of gsub for Pandas Series / DataFrame

Question

What is the equivalent of R's sub / gsub functions for Python pandas' Series or DataFrame ?

For example, in R, my code is

schData<-gsub("/"," by ",schData,ignore.case=F)

What would be equivalent operation in Python when schData above is as follows:

>>> type(schData)
Out[N]: pandas.core.series.Series

for regular strings there is the re.sub function but that only seems to work with strings
