While knowing these may mean you are a good python programmer, not
know them does not mean you are not.

When I am interviewing someone I like to ask them to write a very
simple program, e.g. calculate the sum of the squares and the square
of the sum of the numbers from 1 to 10. From this I can tell how
comfortable they are with python.

If they write a loop with range(1,10) they are going in the 'no' pile.
If they write a loop with range(1,11) they go in the maybe pile
If the write sum([i*i for i in range(1,11)]) and sqrt(sum([i for i in
range(1,11)])) they are going in the yes pile.

Another thing I ask is how they debug. If they say: python -m pdb that
gets them a lot of points with me.
