How to Generate Primes with a Generator in Python
Generate prime numbers up to a limit using the Sieve of Eratosthenes wrapped in a generator expression for lazy evaluation.
def prime_generator(limit):
sieve = [True] * (limit + 1)
sieve[0] = sieve[1] = False
for i in range(2, int(limit ** 0.5) + 1):
if sieve[i]:
for j in range(i * i, limit + 1, i):
sieve[j] = False
return (num for num, is_prime in enumerate(sieve) if is_prime)
if __n…
How to Lazily Transform Items in Python with a Generator
Map a transform function over an iterable lazily with a generator so items are processed on demand, not up front.
def lazy_map(items, transform):
for item in items:
yield transform(item)
def double(x):
return x * 2
def upper(s):
return s.upper()
if __name__ == "__main__":
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
doubled = lazy_map(numbers, double)
print("Doubled numbers:", end=" ")
for value in doubled:

How to filter a generator with a predicate function in Python
This code defines a generator function that yields only items from an iterable that satisfy a given predicate, then tests it with even and positive number filters.
def filter_gen(predicate, iterable):
for item in iterable:
if predicate(item):
yield item
def is_even(num):
return num % 2 == 0
def is_positive(num):
return num > 0
if __name__ == "__main__":
numbers = range(-5, 10)
even_numbers = list(filter_gen(is_even, numbers))

Lazy Evaluation Transform Lineage Mock in Python
Build a mock lineage tracker for data transforms using lazy evaluation and function wrappers in Python.
import functools
def lazy_transform(pipeline):
"""Build a mock lineage tracker using lazy evaluation."""
lineage = []
def wrap(func):
@functools.wraps(func)
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
result = func(*args, **kwargs)
lineage.append({"transform": func.__name__, "a…
