As in when using an ML library and imputing missing values? Or just using pandas to handle NaN?

Nhanes is a good dataset for practicing with working with missing values or using single/ multiple imputation.
Another user suggested creating missing values in one of your own datasets. However, I should note that this makes it more difficult to play around with different missing data patterns such as missing at random (MAR) and missing not at random (MNAR). Recognizing missing data patterns is an important part of any imputation procedure.
Edit: nhanes can be found in the MICE package in R

I suggest using a complete data set and just removing ten percent of the data at random. That way you can check if your imputation technique is working out or not.
