How to Batch Embed a List of Strings in Python
Batch embed a list of strings into deterministic pseudo-random vectors using a mock encoder class.
class MockEncoder:
def __init__(self, dim=8, seed=42):
self.dim = dim
self.seed = seed
def embed(self, text):
# Deterministic pseudo-random embedding based on text content
hash_val = hash(text)
import random
rng = random.Random(hash_val + self.seed)

How to Chunk a Long Document for RAG Retrieval in Python
Split text into overlapping chunks at sentence boundaries using a custom Python function suitable for RAG retrieval pipelines.
import re
from pathlib import Path
def chunk_document(text, chunk_size=500, overlap=100):
"""Split text into overlapping chunks suitable for RAG retrieval."""
# Normalize whitespace
text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip()
chunks = []
start = 0
while start < len(text):
end = min(s…
How to Estimate Token Count in Python
Estimates tokens in a text string using a whitespace and punctuation heuristic without external libraries.
def estimate_tokens(text: str) -> int:
"""Estimate token count using whitespace and punctuation heuristics."""
if not text:
return 0
words = text.split()
total_punctuation = sum(1 for char in text if char in ".,!?;:")
special_tokens = sum(1 for char in text if char in "\n\t")

How to Redact Emails and Phones Before Sending to an LLM in Python
This code uses regular expressions to replace email addresses and US phone numbers with [EMAIL] and [PHONE] placeholders before any LLM processing.
import re
def redact_pii(text: str) -> str:
# Replace email addresses with [EMAIL]
text = re.sub(r'[\w.+-]+@[\w-]+\.[\w.-]+', '[EMAIL]', text)
# Replace phone numbers (US format) with [PHONE]
text = re.sub(r'\(?\d{3}\)?[-.\s]?\d{3}[-.\s]?\d{4}', '[PHONE]', text)
return text
