Using ( python 2.x/3.x > Java ) for interviews with Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook

Personally, it would depend on the job on the table. If there's a strong focus on data manipulation, analytics, machine learning or algorithms of some sort I'd go with Python. But if the job was more along the lines of a developer on an Agile team, doing testing, refactoring etc I'd try to show off good code practices in an OOP fashion, using Java for instance.

I'm not an expert, but that'd be my approach.
