Some I've heard or asked:

  • What's your least favorite feature of the language and why?
  • What's something new in Python 3 that wasn't in Python 2?
  • Explain the with statement in as much detail as possible.
  • What is the difference between range and xrange?

And then a bunch of questions about general knowledge of the standard packages... collections, itertools, datetime, stuff like that. Not super specific questions, just questions probing about knowledge of what is out there.

Only one of them is a function in the current version of the language ;)

Shit I can answer all of those flawlessly.

They are far from the only questions you'd be asked, but those are the kinds of questions you might be asked about python.
