A fraction of records can be handled only at a subsequent iteration if no session management was applied as in this test case. > * How should this data processing approach be adjusted so that the same number > of records will be handled in a consistent way? There is a need to add session management so that required context information will be connected with the provided input data. Each session needs to be identified by an unique key. The Python programming language provides the data type “dict” for such a mapping as standard functionality. https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict Python's support for associative containers is generally nice. But I find that consequences from modification of mapped data can become more interesting for the mentioned use case. The operator “+=” (augmented assignment) can be used there, can't it? The appending of data is supported for some types by this operation. I am informed in the way that some data types expect that a well-known method like “append” must (or should be) be called instead for such an “addition” (if you care for efficient data processing). https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#mutable-sequence-types Now I am looking again for further clarifications and improvements in this area. Would you like to share any more ideas here? Regards, Markus -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
