They may also ask about variable and function scoping rules in Python:
when is variable or function available at the module level versus the
class level versus only the function level.
Also, embedding languages may or may not be an issue. I think we used
cinterface for calling C functions, but they may wanna use other
languages. Depends on how they're using Python.
Also, knowing about basic libraries, like fetching a web page or
formatting json for a REST interface interaction.
