Converting a named aggregate prior to pandas/python3

For the below:

summary_df = (df
    .groupby(['provider', 'master_id'])
    .agg(
        content_type_id             =('content_type_id', 'first'),
        title                       =('title', 'first'),
        release_year                =('release_year', 'first'), ...
        subs                        =('burned_in_sub_language', lambda x: str(sorted(i.lower() for i in x.dropna().unique())))
      )
    .reset_index()
)

What would be the proper way to do this before named aggregates were introduced, including the aliasing of columns?

Answer

As mentioned by Henry Yik, use .agg() followed by .rename().
For example:

summary_df = (df
    .groupby(['provider', 'master_id'])
    .agg({'content_type_id':'first', 'title': 'first',})
    .rename(columns={
        'content_type_id': 'something else', 
        'title': 'changed_name',})
)
