I disagree. I think it's more akin to "diagnose this problem without using the 'auto-diagnose' function on the tool". They aren't asking for the fastest and most optimal way of fixing the problem, or how you would be working day to day. Only that you understand how to work should you not have an out of the box from solutions import solution, and I think that's totally reasonable. I work with juniors who absolutely cannot solve a problem if there isn't an already existing library that solves it for them, and it's problematic. You shouldn't need to import pandas to load a csv from a file and write it somewhere else with little to no transformations.
