I am translating R code to Python using Pandas and I have been able to find Pandas equivalent to all R actions, but now I got this R code:

dtfr %>% mutate(a_column = ifelse(a_column == "INFINITY", MAX_VALUE, a_column))

This is my Pandas equivalent:

dtfr['a_column'] = np.where(dtfr['a_column'] == 'INFINITY', MAX_VALUE, dtfr['a_column'])

I have been looking for an equivalent to R MAX_VALUE in Pandas, but I haven't found how to replicate it.

There is np.inf: https://numpy.org/devdocs/reference/constants.html#numpy.inf

It is used in pandas to represent infinity (just as np.nan is used to represent "missing values".
