humanmint 0.1.6

Clean, functional data processing for human-centric applications. Normalize and standardize names, emails, phones, departments, and job titles with a single unified API.

HumanMint

Clean, functional data processing for human-centric applications. Normalize and standardize names, emails, phones, addresses, departments, job titles, and organizations with a single unified API.

Installation

pip install humanmint

Optional Dependencies

Install with optional features for advanced use cases:

# Development tools (testing, linting, type checking)
pip install humanmint[dev]

# US address parsing support
pip install humanmint[address]

# Pandas integration for DataFrames
pip install humanmint[pandas]

# All optional features
pip install humanmint[dev,address,pandas]

Feature Details:

• dev: Includes pytest, black, flake8, mypy, and faker for development and testing
• address: Enables advanced US postal address parsing with usaddress (optional—falls back to basic regex parsing)
• pandas: Adds DataFrame integration via df.humanmint.clean(...) accessor (optional—gracefully skipped if not installed)

Note on Optional Dependencies:

• Address without usaddress: The normalize_address() function still works! It falls back to basic regex-based parsing (street, city, state, ZIP extraction). For advanced address parsing, install the address extra.
• Pandas not installed: The base library works fine without pandas. The DataFrame accessor (df.humanmint.clean()) is silently skipped if pandas isn't available, so your code won't break.

Quick Start

from humanmint import mint

result = mint(
    name="Dr. John Smith",
    email="[e-mail]",
    phone="[phone]",  # Use real area codes; 555 is reserved for fictional use
    address="123 Main St, Springfield, IL 62701",
    department="Public Works 850-123-1234 ext 200",
    title="Chief of Police"
)

print(result.name)              # {'full': 'John Smith', 'first': 'John', 'last': 'Smith', 'gender': 'Male'}
print(result.email)             # '[e-mail]'
print(result.phone)             # '[phone]'
print(result.address)           # {'street': '123 Main St', 'city': 'Springfield', 'state': 'IL', 'zip': '62701'}
print(result.department)        # 'Public Works'
print(result.department_category) # 'Infrastructure'
print(result.title)             # {'canonical': 'police chief', 'is_valid': True, ...}

Why HumanMint?

Problem

Real-world contact data is messy:

• Names with titles: "Dr. Jane Smith, PhD"
• Phone numbers in various formats: "[phone]" vs "202.555.0123" (use real area codes; 555 is reserved for fiction)
• Departments with codes and noise: "000171 - Public Works 202-555-0150 ext 200"
• Job titles that need standardization: "Chief of Police" -> canonical form
• Emails with inconsistent casing: "[e-mail]"
• Single names that need gender inference: "Jo", "Al", "Ty"

Solution

HumanMint cleans and standardizes everything in one call.

Features

• Unified API: One mint() call to normalize names, emails, phones, addresses, departments, titles, and organizations.
• Rich names: Normalize, enrich, infer gender, detect nicknames; handles single, hyphenated, and titled names.
• Emails: Lowercasing, validation, generic inbox detection, domain extraction, free provider detection.
• Phones: E164/pretty formats, extension extraction, validation, type detection (mobile/landline/fax), VoIP and impossible number detection.
• Addresses: US postal address parsing (street, city, state, ZIP).
• Departments: 23,452 mappings to 64 canonicals with fuzzy matching, categorization, and custom overrides.
• Titles: Canonicalization and fuzzy matching against curated heuristics with confidence scores.
• Organizations: Normalize agency/organization names by removing civic prefixes and suffixes.
• Pandas: df.humanmint.clean(...) accessor with heuristic column guessing or explicit name_col/email_col/... mapping.
• CLI: humanmint clean input.csv output.csv with auto-guessing or explicit column flags.
• Batch processing: Parallel processing with bulk() for handling large datasets.
• Gzip-backed data: Reference data ships as .json.gz caches for fast loads; raw sources live under src/humanmint/data/original/.
• Ethics: Gender inference is probabilistic from historical name data and not a determination of identity; downstream use should respect that.

Customization

You can steer canonicals without forking data files:

• Department overrides: Map normalized departments to your preferred canonical. Example: mint(department="RevOps", dept_overrides={"revenue operations": "Sales"}) or pass the same dict into bulk()/pandas/CLI.
• Title overrides / ignores: Map cleaned titles to a canonical string with title_overrides. To ignore a title, set it to None and drop records where result.title is None or result.title["is_valid"] is False.

Examples

Government Contact

result = mint(
    name="Chief Robert Patterson",
    email="[e-mail]",
    phone="[phone]",  # Real area code; 555 is reserved
    department="000171 - Police",
    title="Chief of Police"
)

# Cleaned:
# name: {'full': 'Robert Patterson', 'first': 'Robert', 'last': 'Patterson', 'gender': 'Male'}
# email: '[e-mail]'
# phone: '[phone]'
# department: 'Police' (category: 'Public Safety')
# title: {'canonical': 'police chief', 'is_valid': True}

Messy Data

result = mint(
    name="Dr. Jane Smith, PhD",
    email="[e-mail]",
    phone="415 555 0123",  # Real area code; 555 is reserved
    department="Planning and Development 415-555-0123 ext 200"
)

# Cleaned:
# name: {'full': 'Jane Smith', 'first': 'Jane', 'last': 'Smith', 'gender': 'Female'}
# email: '[e-mail]'
# phone: '[phone]'
# department: 'Planning' (category: 'Planning & Development')

Single Names

result = mint(name="Madonna")
# name: {'full': 'Madonna', 'first': 'Madonna', 'last': '', 'gender': 'Female'}

result = mint(name="Jo")
# name: {'full': 'Jo', 'first': 'Jo', 'last': '', 'gender': 'Female'}

Testing

pytest -q unittests

CLI

Clean a CSV (auto-detecting columns, or override with flags):

humanmint clean input.csv output.csv --name-col name --email-col email

Regenerating data caches

If you edit the raw datasets in src/humanmint/data/original/, rebuild the packaged .json.gz caches with:

python scripts/build_caches.py

Performance

• Batch processing: ~0.1-0.2ms per contact
• 10 contacts: ~1-2ms
• 100 contacts: ~10-20ms

What Gets Cleaned
