Normalize Data in Python with Comprehensions and Generators

Clean a list by dropping None values with a comprehension, then min-max normalize it using a lazy generator expression — a beginner-friendly data preparation pattern.

comprehensions generators normalization
Python
import statistics

# Sample raw data including missing and outlier-ish values
raw = [22, 18, None, 25, 30, 19, 22, 17, None, 28, 24]

# Clean the data: drop None values using a list comprehension
clean = [x for x in raw if x is not None]

# Normalize using min-max scaling with a generator expression
min_val = min(clea…

Take n items from an infinite Python generator

Uses itertools.islice to lazily take exactly n items from an infinite generator without exhausting it.

generators itertools islice
Python
from itertools import islice

def count_up_from(start=0):
    n = start
    while True:
        yield n
        n += 1

def take_n(generator, count):
    return list(islice(generator, count))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    gen = count_up_from(10)
    result = take_n(gen, 5)
    print(result)

How to Stream Join Windowed Mock Topics in Python

Simulates two message topics and joins their events when timestamps fall within a sliding time window using Python generators and deques.
