Improved code readability by replacing single-letter and abbreviated variable names with descriptive identifiers across deduplication, sync, and analysis modules.

Changes

src/dex_python/deduplication.py

  • ridcontact_id
  • p1, p2contact1, contact2
  • keyphonetic_key
  • idscontact_ids
  • i, jfirst_index, second_index
  • Extracted current_field and is_empty variables in merge_cluster()

src/dex_python/sync_back.py

  • icurrent_index in progress enumeration

scripts/analyze_duplicates.py

  • freport_file
  • cidcontact_id

Example

Before:

for rid, first, last in rows:
    key = jellyfish.metaphone(last) or last.lower()[:2]
    blocks[key].append({"id": rid, "full_name": f"{first} {last}"})

for i in range(len(items)):
    for j in range(i + 1, len(items)):
        p1, p2 = items[i], items[j]
        score = jellyfish.jaro_winkler_similarity(p1["full_name"], p2["full_name"])

After:

for contact_id, first, last in rows:
    phonetic_key = jellyfish.metaphone(last) or last.lower()[:2]
    blocks[phonetic_key].append({"id": contact_id, "full_name": f"{first} {last}"})

for first_index in range(len(items)):
    for second_index in range(first_index + 1, len(items)):
        contact1, contact2 = items[first_index], items[second_index]
        score = jellyfish.jaro_winkler_similarity(contact1["full_name"], contact2["full_name"])

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:
