We have a standard list of about 2 dozen screening questions we use that cover a broad but shallow swath of CS, Unix, and Python. I'm not going to share the exact questions, but here's some of the Python topics we cover: The ramifications of string immutability. How default function arguments work, especially how they interact with mutable objects. How booleans and various ways of testing for equality work. A question about subclassing a built-in type. List comprehensions vs. generator expressions. We don't expect everybody to get every question, but it gives us a quick first cut to evaluate applicants before we decide to bring them in for an interview or not. We also want to see that you understand some basic computer science. If nothing else, you need to understand, what O(n) means, and be able to give some examples of Python code which exhibit various orders of complexity.
