Create Mock Watermarked Image Bytes in Python Without PIL
Builds a mock image-like byte stream with an embedded watermark using only stdlib modules, for testing pipelines without PIL.
from io import BytesIO
import zlib
import struct
def create_watermarked_bytes(width: int, height: int, watermark: bytes) -> bytes:
"""Create a mock image-like byte stream with a watermark (no PIL)."""
header = struct.pack("<2I", width, height)
payload = watermark * max(1, (width * height // max(1, len(wa…How to Implement Incremental Load with Watermark by updated_at in Python
Load only new or changed rows into SQLite by comparing an updated_at timestamp against a stored watermark, returning counts and the new watermark.
import sqlite3
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def watermark_incremental_load(db_path, table_name, last_watermark, source_data):
"""Load only rows with updated_at greater than the last watermark."""
conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
cursor = conn.cursor()
# Create table if it doesn't exist
…Mock Watermark Late Event Side Output in Python
Simulates watermarking in a streaming pipeline by classifying events as on-time or late using timestamps and delays.
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from typing import List, Tuple

events: List[Tuple[datetime, str]], watermark_delay: timedelta, max_delay: timedelta
) -> Tuple[List[Tuple[datetime, str]], List[Tuple[datetime, str]]]:

Mock structured streaming watermarks in Python to track late event times and compute a watermark for windowed processing.
