You don’t need python for this- a simple string.replace node will do it.
It gets more complicated if there are multiple replacements- in which case you may be better off using dictionaries

In my experience, it is easier to export all the data (using either Dynamo or the build-in ODBC export) then format/sort/group the data to your heart’s content. I used Access
