How to Count Events by Minute with a Tumbling Window in Python
Group timestamps into fixed 60-second tumbling windows and count events per bucket using a dict.
from collections import defaultdict
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def tumbling_window_count(events, window_seconds=60):
buckets = defaultdict(int)
for event in events:
ts = datetime.fromisoformat(event["timestamp"])
bucket_start = ts - timedelta(seconds=ts.second % window_seconds,
…How to Mock a semantic-release Changelog in Python
This Python code simulates a semantic-release changelog generator, grouping commits by type and formatting them into a markdown changelog.
import json
from datetime import datetime
class SemanticReleaseChangelog:
def __init__(self, version, commits):
self.version = version
self.commits = commits
self.release_date = datetime.now().isoformat()
def generate_changelog(self):
grouped = {}
for commit in self.c…How to Group Alerts by Time Window in Python
Group alert occurrences that fall within a sliding time window per alert key, reducing noise and summarizing bursts into single events.
from collections import defaultdict
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def group_alerts(alerts, window_minutes=10):
"""Group alerts that occur within the same time window."""
alerts_by_key = defaultdict(list)
for alert in alerts:
key = alert["key"]
timestamp = alert["timestamp"]…How to Build a DAG Execution Stage Calculator in Python
Computes the execution stages of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) by grouping nodes that become ready simultaneously using topological sorting with Kahn's algorithm.
from collections import defaultdict, deque
def get_stages(edges):
"""Return list of stages, where each stage is a list of nodes
that become ready at the same time in a DAG."""
graph = defaultdict(list)
in_degree = defaultdict(int)
nodes = set()
for src, dst in edges:
