+Question from a user:
+
+How to apply this lat_lon_parser on pandas dataframe specific column?
+
+Turns out it's straightforward -- just pass the `parse` function to apply::
+
+
+    In [20]: df = pandas.DataFrame({'coords':["12d13'N","32 5 14", "30.123W"]})
+
+    In [21]: df
+    Out[21]:
+        coords
+    0  12d13'N
+    1  32 5 14
+    2  30.123W
+
+    In [22]: df['coords'] = df['coords'].apply(parse)
+
+    In [23]: df
+    Out[23]:
+          coords
+    0  12.216667
