I've long wanted to update my original post in this department to include things like the "with" statement as well as my reasoning. Some of our deployments were stuck on earlier versions (currently our oldest is a 2.4 deployment that is merrily chugging along, somewhat stuck due to an external binary dependency for which terms changed between versions). At the time I wrote that, we had some 2.2 and 2.3 code in production that couldn't use decorators, and sqlite wasn't officially added until 2.5 (IIRC). Now that everything is at least 2.4, code can now use decorators freely. I'd also likely include questions about integer division and other stuff added in 3.x (such as the default new-class behavior). So my main motivation was to make sure applicants knew that, in some of our environments, certain features might not be available. Not that I wanted to hire a Python historian. >> Other Process-releated things: >> ============================== >> - do they use revision control >> (RCS/CVS/Subversion/Mercurial/Git...anything but VSS) and >> know how to use it well >> >> - do they write automated tests for their code Don't let the importance of these two escape. It's SOOOOOOO easy to grab any of the freely available VCS tools and learn the ropes, or to write some test code. Failure to do so just seems like negligence these days. -tkc
