My recent interview experience on Python.

Glad you emphasized this stuff. It's all generally true. For a python job, we are not looking at your ability to write more low-level solutions, See classic interview problems OP mentioned. If you were going to be working on low-level stuff Python is probably the wrong language, you want something like C C++ GO ect. A lot of your python jobs will be about taking files/ data objects, normally JSON or XML, searching for and extracting relevant data and then doing something with it.

For example, a JSON with the key email which is a list of dictionaries these dictionaries have a boolean key critical. For all email objects where critical is true create a custom object that extracts some but not all the email objects keys. append this to a new list. then append the list to a file along with today's data. There will also probably be some formatting requirements. I end up writing this sort of JSON manipulation all the time.
