Python for Data Engineering (Practice)
-
Data Cleansing: Using
.strip(),.upper(), and.split()to clean and format malformed string data, and f-strings for reporting. -
Error Handling & Type Casting: Implementing
try-except-finallyblocks to catch exceptions, handling specific workflows likeZeroDivisionError, and usingfloat()for safe data conversion. -
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) for Pipelines: Implementing class structures using
@dataclass, initializing internal states, and defining post-initialization hooks via__post_init__for automated data standardization. -
Dynamic Data Ingestion (
*args): Using dynamic positional arguments to handle and unpack variable numbers of data batches seamlessly within methods. -
List & Dict Comprehensions: Utilizing List Comprehensions and
forloops withif-elseconditionals to filter data based on business rules, and Dictionary Comprehensions for transforming structured data formats (Key-Value mappings). -
Data Structures:
-
Lists: Creating via
list(), adding elements with.append()/.extend(), and duplicating states using.copy(). -
Dictionaries: Initializing empty dictionaries
{}and mapping structured key-value pairs. -
Sets: Initializing with
set()and using.add()to eliminate duplicates (Deduplication). -
Built-in Functions: Using
round()for decimal formatting,sum()andlen()for aggregations, andenumerate()for custom loop indexing. -
Memory Optimization: Applying
.clear()to wipe out datasets and optimize memory usage after processing.
