🕒 12:00–12:30
🏷️ Labels: Python, Data Cleaning, Email Processing, Network Analysis
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The primary objective of this session was to enhance the processing of email data by implementing efficient data cleaning and analysis techniques using Python.
Key Activities
- Developed one-liner computations using Pandas and NetworkX to analyze email networks, focusing on communication classification, active user identification, and detecting automated emails.
- Implemented a Python script to clean and standardize messy email timestamps to UTC-3, improving data consistency.
- Streamlined DataFrame date cleaning processes by optimizing Python code to eliminate unnecessary variable assignments.
- Resolved issues with naive datetime objects by converting them to timezone-aware objects in Argentina local time.
- Fixed a NameError related to the missing
pytzlibrary by adding the necessary import statement for time zone handling. - Addressed invalid email date formats using
dateutil.parserto ensure robust timestamp parsing and conversion.
Achievements
- Successfully enhanced the email data processing pipeline with improved data cleaning and analysis techniques.
- Resolved key errors and optimized code for better performance and accuracy.
Pending Tasks
- Further testing of the implemented solutions in a production environment to ensure robustness and reliability.
