+ # PyMini – A Compact Python Instruction Dataset for Small Language Models
23
+
24
+ **PyMini** is a synthetic instruction dataset built by [Inserloft](https://inserloft.com) to teach Python programming to small language models (<2B parameters). It covers fundamental Python concepts through a diverse set of tasks — code prediction, bug fixing, function completion, explanation, and conceptual Q&A. Available in **English, Spanish, or bilingual** versions.
25
+
26
+ ## Dataset Description
27
+
28
+ PyMini provides a **high-quality, compact, and fully synthetic** dataset for fine-tuning models that need a solid grasp of Python without unnecessary complexity. Every example is generated programmatically, avoiding license issues and giving exact control over difficulty and coverage.
29
+
30
+ - **Languages:** English (`en`), Spanish (`es`), or mixed (`both`)
31
+ - **Number of examples:** Configurable; default release contains **50,000 examples** (balanced across task types)
32
+ - **Format:** JSON Lines (`.jsonl`), easily convertible to Parquet
33
+ - **Generated with:** Python script (no web scraping, no copyrighted code)
34
+
35
+ ## Dataset Structure
36
+
37
+ Each example is a JSON object with three fields:
38
+
39
+ ```json
40
+ {
41
+ "instruction": "string (the task description)",
42
+ "input": "string (code snippet or empty)",
43
+ "output": "string (the expected answer/code/explanation)"
44
+ }
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ Example (English):
48
+
49
+ ```json
50
+ {
51
+ "instruction": "What is the output of the following code?",
52
+ "input": "```python\nprint(3 + 4 * 5)\n```",
53
+ "output": "23"
54
+ }
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+ The `input` field may be empty for tasks like "Write a function...".
58
+
59
+ ## Task Types and Distribution
60
+
61
+ | Task Type | Description | Approx. Weight |
62
+ |---|---|---|
63
+ | Predict Output | Given a code snippet, predict what it prints or evaluates to. | 25% |
64
+ | Fix Bug | Correct syntax or logical errors in provided code. | 15% |
65
+ | Fill Missing Line | Complete a partially written function body to fulfill its purpose. | 15% |
66
+ | Write Function | Write a whole function from a natural language specification. | 20% |
67
+ | Explain Code | Explain in plain language what a piece of code does. | 15% |
68
+ | Concept Question | Answer a theoretical question about Python (e.g., "What is a list?"). | 10% |
69
+ | Convert Code | Transform a loop into a comprehension or vice versa. | 5% |
70
+
71
+ All code examples are self-contained and focus on core Python: variables, types, conditionals, loops, functions, lists, dictionaries, sets, file handling, exceptions, basic OOP, and comprehensions.
72
+
73
+ ## Usage
74
+
75
+ Load the dataset directly with the Hugging Face `datasets` library:
76
+
77
+ ```python
78
+ from datasets import load_dataset
79
+
80
+ dataset = load_dataset("inserloft/PyMini", split="train")
81
+ print(dataset[0])
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ ### Loading from a local JSONL file
85
+
86
+ ```python
87
+ from datasets import load_dataset
88
+
89
+ dataset = load_dataset("json", data_files="PyMini.jsonl", split="train")
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ ## Data Fields
93
+
94
+ - **instruction** (str): Task description in the chosen language.
95
+ - **input** (str): Optional code block (formatted with ` ```python ` fences) or empty string.
96
+ - **output** (str): Expected response (may contain code blocks, explanations, or short answers).
97
+
98
+ ## Data Splits
99
+
100
+ The default release includes a single training split. For evaluation, we recommend either:
101
+
102
+ - Holding out a random 5–10% of the data, or
103
+ - Using a separate, handcrafted test set of real-world Python problems.
104
+
105
+ ## Generation Process
106
+
107
+ PyMini is entirely synthetic, generated by a Python script that randomly combines templates and safe code evaluation to produce diverse examples. Key aspects of the generation:
108
+
109
+ - **Deduplication:** A hash-based deduplication step prevents exact duplicate examples.
110
+ - **Reproducibility:** The script uses a fixed random seed (42) for reproducible generation.
111
+ - **Safety:** All code snippets are evaluated in a restricted environment (no file system access, limited built-ins).
112
+ - **Customization:** Adjust the number of examples, language (`--lang es/en/both`), and task weights by modifying the script.
113
+
114
+ The generation script is included in the repository (`generate_pymini.py`).
115
+
116
+ ## Intended Use
117
+
118
+ This dataset is intended for fine-tuning small language models (under ~2 billion parameters) to improve their Python understanding and code generation abilities. It is particularly suitable for:
119
+
120
+ - Code assistants that must explain or fix Python code.
121
+ - Educational tools that teach Python basics.
122
+ - Lightweight models running in resource-constrained environments (edge, mobile).
123
+
124
+ ## Out-of-Scope Use
125
+
126
+ PyMini is not designed for:
127
+
128
+ - Large-scale production code generation.
129
+ - Mastering advanced Python libraries (NumPy, pandas, Django, etc.).
130
+ - Security-sensitive code auditing.
131
+
132
+ The examples are deliberately simple and may not cover edge cases of real-world software.
133
+
134
+ ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
135
+
136
+ - **Synthetic nature:** The dataset was generated from templates, so it may lack the stylistic variance of human-written code.
137
+ - **Language coverage:** While bilingual, the vocabulary is limited to common Python terminology. Colloquial expressions or complex natural language instructions may be underrepresented.
138
+ - **No malicious code:** The dataset does not include security vulnerabilities or harmful patterns; it is purely educational.
139
+ - **Potential overfitting:** Because of the templated generation, models may memorize patterns rather than generalizing to unseen code. Evaluate on diverse, real-world test sets.
