How to Mock Cron Schedule in Python
Compute the next scheduled run time for a cron expression using a pure-Python mock parser.
import re
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
class CronMock:
def __init__(self, expression):
self.expression = expression
self.minutes = self._parse_field(expression.split()[0], 0, 59)
self.hours = self._parse_field(expression.split()[1], 0, 23)
self.days = self._parse_field(…
How to Mock Kedro Pipeline Nodes in Python
Create a modular Kedro pipeline with node functions, namespacing, and input/output mapping to mock pipeline execution locally.
from kedro.pipeline import Pipeline, node
from kedro.pipeline.modular_pipeline import pipeline as modular_pipeline
def preprocess(data: list) -> list:
"""Clean data by removing None values."""
return [item for item in data if item is not None]
def transform(data: list) -> list:
"""Add 1 to each numeric…
How to Mock ROC AUC in Python
Compute ROC AUC from scratch in Python using pairwise comparisons between positive and negative score distributions, ideal for testing ML models without sklearn.
import random
from math import comb
def mock_roc_auc(scores, labels):
"""Compute mock ROC AUC by simulating a classifier's score distribution."""
random.seed(42)
n = len(labels)
pos_scores = [scores[i] for i in range(n) if labels[i] == 1]
neg_scores = [scores[i] for i in range(n) if labels[i] == …
K-Fold Cross Validation in Python: A Simple Implementation
Implements k-fold cross validation from scratch, splitting data into folds and computing MSE scores for a baseline mean-predictor model.
import random
from statistics import mean
def cross_validation_scores(data, labels, k=5, seed=42):
random.seed(seed)
indices = list(range(len(data)))
random.shuffle(indices)
fold_size = len(indices) // k
folds = []
for i in range(k):
if i == k - 1:
folds.append(indices[i *…
Mock a Flyte ML workflow in Python
Build a lightweight mock of a Flyte ML pipeline with dataclasses and a simple execution loop that passes outputs between tasks.
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import List, Dict, Optional
import time
@dataclass
class FlyteTask:
name: str
inputs: Dict = field(default_factory=dict)
outputs: Dict = field(default_factory=dict)
def run(self) -> Dict:
time.sleep(0.1) # simulate work
return sel…
