How to Filter Query Parameters by Operator in Python

Parse a URL query string and keep only parameters with allowed comparison operators like eq, gt, and lt.

query-parsing url api
Python
from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs

def filter_operators(query_string, allowed=("eq", "gt", "lt")):
    parsed = urlparse(query_string)
    params = parse_qs(parsed.query)
    filtered = {}
    for key, values in params.items():
        if "__" in key:
            field, op = key.rsplit("__", 1)

How to Implement Pagination with Offset and Limit in Python

A mock API pagination pattern that parses page and per_page query parameters, computes offset and limit, and slices a list of items for a specific page.

api pagination query-params
Python
def paginate(items, page, per_page):
    offset = (page - 1) * per_page
    return items[offset:offset + per_page]

    params = {}
    if query_string:
        for pair in query_string.split("&"):
            key, value = pair.split("=")

    """Perform exhaustive grid search over hyperparameter combinations."""
    keys = param_grid.keys()
    names = list(keys)
    values = [param_grid[name] for name in names]
    results = []

How to Tune scrypt Parameters in Python

Adjust scrypt work factor (N) to hit a target hashing time with a mock benchmark loop, then return tunable parameters and a derived key.

def tune_scrypt_params(target_time=0.1, base_n=2**14, base_r=8, base_p=1):
    """Mock tuning of scrypt params based on target time."""
    n, r, p = base_n, base_r, base_p
    iterations = 0
