Trying to use replace method with pandas

Question

I am trying to do a simple replace with pandas:

from pandas import *
In [2]: df = DataFrame({1: [2,3,4], 2: [3,4,5]})

In [4]: df[2]
Out[4]:
0    3
1    4
2    5
Name: 2

In [5]: df[2].replace(4, 17)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
c:\Python27\<ipython-input-5-b4adce9e9b15> in <module>()
----> 1 df[2].replace(4, 17)

AttributeError: 'Series' object has no attribute 'replace'

What am I missing?

Answer 1

The replace method was added in version 0.9.0 (see release notes).

Note: You can inspect the docs for a specific version of pandas by selecting that version on the right-hand-side of the webpage. But do consider updating to the latest stable version.
