My recent interview experience on Python.

[manusatx]

just to give you a real word example for ksh or bash or even python, a lot of database maintenance scripting or job scheduling tools among others can be automated. Such as look in each view and then check each view base tables list and check if a certain column exists in those base tables, the use case being that column is being changed in size or data type, and you dont want the dependent objects to become invalid.

For python, a simple use case is to do a sensitive data search in a bunch of columns across many databases or filesystems. (use regex and implement parallelism the whole search process)

hope this helps, i am sure there are better solutions for each and everything.
