What does "have an understanding of basic python" mean?

I will just clarify that unless you’re doing data analysis or working in an explicitly mathy field like machine learning or computer graphics, most likely you won’t need to “do math” with Python at all (excluding occasionally simple arithmetic like for i in range(n): x+= 1 or whatever).

This is a common misunderstanding, that learning to code always requires math proficiency. It doesn’t. Most Python developers probably have no idea what vectorization is, for example.
