Feature request: replace

[btwael]

Hello @endrebak, thank you, I will start working on this for the as soon as possible. I will check also that pandas.Series.str.

pervert request... how about sticking to standard string api and implementing extra stuff in a separate class/whatever? And creating a PR for Python to include your optimizations for standard string

[endrebak]

Or the PR could improve the API too if it is backwards compatible. The second suggestion is but the third isn’t.

This is backwards compatible:

import re
pat = re.compile(“h|i”)
"hi".replace(pat, "NYAN")
NYANNYAN
