How to Topologically Sort a DAG in Python
Compute a valid execution order for tasks with dependencies using Kahn's algorithm in Python.
from collections import defaultdict, deque
def topological_order(dependencies):
graph = defaultdict(list)
in_degree = defaultdict(int)
tasks = set(dependencies.keys())
for task, depends_on in dependencies.items():
for d in depends_on:
graph[d].append(task)
in_degree[t…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:
graph[src].appen…How to Define Dagster ML Assets in Python
Define a chain of Dagster software-defined assets that compute raw features, normalized features, and predictions for an ML pipeline.
from dagster import asset
@asset
def raw_features():
return {"sepal_length": [5.1, 4.9, 6.2], "sepal_width": [3.5, 3.0, 3.4]}
@asset
def normalized_features(raw_features):
values = raw_features["sepal_length"]
mean = sum(values) / len(values)
std = (sum((x - mean) ** 2 for x in values) / len(values…How to Mock a Kubeflow Pipeline in Python
Build a minimal in-memory mock of a Kubeflow pipeline DAG using dataclasses and OrderedDict to chain component functions.
from typing import Dict, Any
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from collections import OrderedDict
@dataclass
class KubeflowPipelineMock:
"""A minimal mock of a Kubeflow pipeline DAG."""
name: str
components: OrderedDict[str, callable] = field(default_factory=OrderedDict)
def add_component(se…Training Pipeline Orchestration Mock DAG in Python
Build a mock DAG orchestrator that runs ML pipeline stages in dependency order using topological sorting (Kahn's algorithm).
from collections import deque
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
@dataclass
class DAGNode:
name: str
task: callable
dependencies: list[str] = field(default_factory=list)
class MockDAG:
def __init__(self, nodes: list[DAGNode]):
self.nodes = {n.name: n for n in nodes}
