encode/decode method for string module (like in np.char.encode ) #1706

gerigk · 2012-07-30T12:49:57Z

This is already in included in numpy but for convenience it would be nice to have this in pandas.

series.str.decode('utf-8')

is nicer than for example

series = Series(['a','b','ä'])
Series(np.char.decode(series.values.astype('|S255'), 'utf-8'))

I find myself having to decode and encode a lot depending on what other libraries accept/return.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

When encoding/decoding strings with errors allow you to pass error handling strings. This works the same as error handling for other encode/decode functions. Defaults to 'strict', but you can pass 'ignore', 'replace', etc. Extends work done in #1706.
