What language(s) are you hiring for? I asked a Python lead this question the other day and here's what he told me: for a junior, then i'd probably quiz them on some of the fundamental types of python tuple vs list what does it mean to be immutable vs mutable what's a dictionary how to define a class probe them for their understanding of reference counting in cPython (assuming that's what you guys use) if they're coming from a CS background or development with C/C++/Java/etc, ask them for how they think python compares to the other languages especially dynamic vs static typing
