API: rename DataFrame.applymap -> DataFrame.map · Issue #52353 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

I propose deprecating DataFrame.applymap and move its functionality to a new DataFrame.map method. The name map will better communicate that this is the DataFrame equivalent of Series.map. The current name can IMO be a bit confusing because the name contains both "apply" and "map", while just having "map" is clearer IMO.

See a discussion on this here.
