这里有一个我喜欢用来减少打字的漂亮小函数：

def rename(data, oldnames, newname):
    if type(oldnames) == str: # Input can be a string or list of strings
        oldnames = [oldnames] # When renaming multiple columns
        newname = [newname] # Make sure you pass the corresponding list of new names
    i = 0
    for name in oldnames:
        oldvar = [c for c in data.columns if name in c]
        if len(oldvar) == 0:
            raise ValueError("Sorry, couldn't find that column in the dataset")
        if len(oldvar) > 1: # Doesn't have to be an exact match
            print("Found multiple columns that matched " + str(name) + ": ")
            for c in oldvar:
                print(str(oldvar.index(c)) + ": " + str(c))
            ind = input('Please enter the index of the column you would like to rename: ')
            oldvar = oldvar[int(ind)]
        if len(oldvar) == 1:
            oldvar = oldvar[0]
        data = data.rename(columns = {oldvar : newname[i]})
        i += 1
    return data

下面是一个如何工作的示例：

In [2]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0, 10, size=(10, 4)), columns = ['col1', 'col2', 'omg', 'idk'])
# First list = existing variables
# Second list = new names for those variables
In [3]: df = rename(df, ['col', 'omg'],['first', 'ohmy'])
Found multiple columns that matched col:
0: col1
1: col2

Please enter the index of the column you would like to rename: 0

In [4]: df.columns
Out[5]: Index(['first', 'col2', 'ohmy', 'idk'], dtype='object')

另一种替换原始列标签的方法是从原始列标签中删除不需要的字符（此处为“$”）。

这可以通过在df.columns上运行for循环并将剥离的列附加到df.column来完成。

相反，我们可以通过使用下面的列表理解在一个语句中巧妙地做到这一点：

df.columns = [col.strip('$') for col in df.columns]

（Python中的strip方法会从字符串的开头和结尾剥离给定的字符。）

# This way it will work
import pandas as pd

# Define a dictionary 
rankings = {'test': ['a'],
        'odi': ['E'],
        't20': ['P']}

# Convert the dictionary into DataFrame
rankings_pd = pd.DataFrame(rankings)

# Before renaming the columns
print(rankings_pd)

rankings_pd.rename(columns = {'test':'TEST'}, inplace = True)

如果您已经获得了数据帧，df.columns将所有内容转储到您可以操作的列表中，然后作为列的名称重新分配到数据帧中。。。

columns = df.columns
columns = [row.replace("$", "") for row in columns]
df.rename(columns=dict(zip(columns, things)), inplace=True)
df.head() # To validate the output

最佳方式？我不知道。一种方式——是的。

评估问题答案中提出的所有主要技术的更好方法如下：使用cProfile测量内存和执行时间@kadee、@kaitlyn和@eumiro拥有执行时间最快的函数-尽管这些函数非常快，但我们比较了所有答案的0.000和0.001秒舍入。寓意：我上面的答案可能不是“最好”的方式。

import pandas as pd
import cProfile, pstats, re

old_names = ['$a', '$b', '$c', '$d', '$e']
new_names = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
col_dict = {'$a': 'a', '$b': 'b', '$c': 'c', '$d': 'd', '$e': 'e'}

df = pd.DataFrame({'$a':[1, 2], '$b': [10, 20], '$c': ['bleep', 'blorp'], '$d': [1, 2], '$e': ['texa$', '']})

df.head()

def eumiro(df, nn):
    df.columns = nn
    # This direct renaming approach is duplicated in methodology in several other answers:
    return df

def lexual1(df):
    return df.rename(columns=col_dict)

def lexual2(df, col_dict):
    return df.rename(columns=col_dict, inplace=True)

def Panda_Master_Hayden(df):
    return df.rename(columns=lambda x: x[1:], inplace=True)

def paulo1(df):
    return df.rename(columns=lambda x: x.replace('$', ''))

def paulo2(df):
    return df.rename(columns=lambda x: x.replace('$', ''), inplace=True)

def migloo(df, on, nn):
    return df.rename(columns=dict(zip(on, nn)), inplace=True)

def kadee(df):
    return df.columns.str.replace('$', '')

def awo(df):
    columns = df.columns
    columns = [row.replace("$", "") for row in columns]
    return df.rename(columns=dict(zip(columns, '')), inplace=True)

def kaitlyn(df):
    df.columns = [col.strip('$') for col in df.columns]
    return df

print 'eumiro'
cProfile.run('eumiro(df, new_names)')
print 'lexual1'
cProfile.run('lexual1(df)')
print 'lexual2'
cProfile.run('lexual2(df, col_dict)')
print 'andy hayden'
cProfile.run('Panda_Master_Hayden(df)')
print 'paulo1'
cProfile.run('paulo1(df)')
print 'paulo2'
cProfile.run('paulo2(df)')
print 'migloo'
cProfile.run('migloo(df, old_names, new_names)')
print 'kadee'
cProfile.run('kadee(df)')
print 'awo'
cProfile.run('awo(df)')
print 'kaitlyn'
cProfile.run('kaitlyn(df)')

如果已经有新列名的列表，可以尝试以下操作：

new_cols = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
new_names_map = {df.columns[i]:new_cols[i] for i in range(len(new_cols))}

df.rename(new_names_map, axis=1, inplace=True)

我的方法是通用的，您可以通过逗号分隔分隔符=variable来添加额外的分隔符，并对其进行未来验证。

工作代码：

import pandas as pd
import re


df = pd.DataFrame({'$a':[1,2], '$b': [3,4],'$c':[5,6], '$d': [7,8], '$e': [9,10]})

delimiters = '$'
matchPattern = '|'.join(map(re.escape, delimiters))
df.columns = [re.split(matchPattern, i)[1] for i in df.columns ]

输出：

>>> df
   $a  $b  $c  $d  $e
0   1   3   5   7   9
1   2   4   6   8  10

>>> df
   a  b  c  d   e
0  1  3  5  7   9
1  2  4  6  8  10
