Map Partition Over Chunks in Python with Multiprocessing and Mock

Process data in chunks across multiple CPU cores using multiprocessing Pool.map, and mock the chunk function to test partitioning behavior without heavy computation.

multiprocessing chunking parallel
Python
from multiprocessing import Pool
from unittest.mock import patch, Mock

def process_chunk(chunk):
    return [x * x for x in chunk]

def map_partition_over_chunks(data, chunk_size, process_func=process_chunk):
    chunks = [data[i:i + chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(data), chunk_size)]
    with Pool() as pool:

Test a Python Pipeline with Fixture Sample Rows

Test pipeline functions with sample rows provided by a pytest fixture, verifying required keys and value constraints.

pytest fixtures data-pipelines
Python
import pytest


def get_value(data: dict, key: str):
    return data.get(key)


def sample_rows():
    return [
        {"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "city": "London"},
        {"name": "Bob", "age": 25, "city": "Paris"},
        {"name": "Charlie", "age": 35, "city": "Berlin"},
