Composable Predicates with the &, |, ~ Operators in Python
Define a reusable Predicate class that combines boolean checks with & (AND), | (OR), and ~ (NOT) operators.
class Predicate:
def __init__(self, func, name=None):
self.func = func
self.name = name or getattr(func, "__name__", "predicate")
def __call__(self, value):
return self.func(value)
def __and__(self, other):
return Predicate(lambda v: self(v) and other(v), f"({self.name} AN…How to Filter Data with Predicates in Python
This helper filters a list with a predicate using a list comprehension, plus a lazy generator version that yields matches one by one.
def filter_data(data, predicate):
"""Return a list containing only items that pass the predicate."""
return [item for item in data if predicate(item)]
def filter_data_lazy(data, predicate):
"""Generator version: yields items that pass the predicate one by one."""
for item in data:
if predicat…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))
p…How to Filter Data in Python with Type Hints
A reusable filter_data helper uses optional predicates and numeric bounds with modern Python type hints.
from typing import Iterable, TypeVar, Callable, Any
T = TypeVar("T")
def filter_data(
items: Iterable[T],
predicate: Callable[[T], bool] | None = None,
*,
min_value: float | None = None,
max_value: float | None = None,
) -> list[T]:
"""Filter items by predicate and/or numeric bounds."""
