A good set of questions, IMO. Am answering as someone coming back to Python after a few years.

Coding guidelines, I think.

I don't know what that's getting at as it specifically mentions source code apart from tar/gzip or zip. Maybe git or other scm?

  def f(input):
    output = {}
    for k,v in input.items():
      output[v] = k

Good one. I checked this and only got 1 and 2 right.
