clean_convert

Recursively cleans None values from lists and dictionaries, handling nested structures and converting datetime objects to ISO format.

Installation

Basic Usage

Parameters

  • input (dict, list): Input data structure to clean
  • Handles:
    • Dictionaries
    • Lists
    • Datetime objects
    • Scalar values

Returns

Cleaned data structure with None values removed

map_fields

Maps row values according to a specified mapping dictionary, supporting nested structures and arrays.

Usage

Parameters

  • row (dict): Source data row
  • mapping (dict): Mapping configuration
    • Keys: Target field names
    • Values: Source field names or nested mappings

Returns

Dictionary with mapped values

rename

Renames DataFrame columns using JSON format with support for type conversion.

Usage

Parameters

  • df (pd.DataFrame): Input DataFrame
  • target_columns (dict, list):
    • dict: Mapping of old to new column names
    • list: Columns to select

Returns

DataFrame with renamed columns

Notes

  • Supports both renaming and column selection
  • Preserves data types
  • Returns original DataFrame if no mapping provided
  • Only renames existing columns

localize_datetime

Converts DataFrame datetime columns to UTC timezone, handling both naive and timezone-aware timestamps.

Usage

Parameters

  • df (pd.DataFrame): Input DataFrame
  • column_name (str): Name of datetime column to localize

Returns

Series with localized datetime values

deep_convert_datetimes

Recursively transforms all datetime objects to ISO format strings within nested data structures.

Usage

Parameters

  • value (any): Input value or data structure
    • Handles dictionaries, lists, datetime objects
    • Processes nested structures recursively

Returns

Data structure with datetime objects converted to ISO format strings

Notes

  • Uses “%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ” format
  • Handles both datetime and date objects
  • Preserves original data structure
  • Safe for non-datetime values

exception

Recommended: Standardized error handling and logging for ETL pipelines.

Usage

Parameters

  • exception (Exception): Caught exception
  • root_dir (str): Directory for error log
  • error_message (str): Additional context message

Notes

  • Creates consistent error format
  • Logs errors to ‘errors.txt’
  • Preserves original exception details
  • Adds contextual information
