Python Interview Questions

In python both single quote and double quotes are valid for string representation and also we can use triple quote for multiline string representation.

Like other programming language python also has garbage collector which will take care of memory management in python.

Memory is managed through private heaps. Private heap is managed by python memory manager.

Join is built in string function used for string separation.

Join belongs to multi-threading module, and is used to join threads

Yup, I think youre right. enumerate will iterate over a list, and that list could have numbers in it e.g.:

>>> [ (i,j) for i,j in enumerate([9,10,11,12])]
[(0, 9), (1, 10), (2, 11), (3, 12)]

range is the built-in function to be used for interating the sequence of numbers.

for iter in range (0, 10):
   print iter # prints 0 to 9


for iter in range (0, 10, 2): # The last argument is the sequence to use. Default is 1.
   print iter # prints 0, 2, 4, 6, 8

Python is not so useful in web environment where the user interface is the browser. Hence, lot of people are using PHP for different design goals. Google is tightly connected with python as they make ...

Python is more like java and bit cumbersome, but it leads to a better design. Python is an interpreted language, high level programming, pure object-oriented, high performance server side scripting la...

No. Python does not have any switch or case statement. But it provides other ways of achieving multiway branching such as if-elif statements and dictionaries. Example 1: (Using if-elif-else)if x ...

You can use a dictionary to simulate the switch statement.def doSomething():    print "doSomething() called"def doSomethingElse():    print "doSomethingEls...

They are syntactically restricted to a single expression.

A lambda statement is used to create new function objects and then return them at runtime thats why  lambda forms in Python didn't contain statement.

A hash value of the key is computed using a hash function, The hash value addresses a location in an array of "buckets" or "collision lists" which contains the (key , value) pa...

Using curly brackets -> {}

eg: {'a':'123', 'b':'456'}

There are 2 optional clauses used in try...except statements:
1. else clause: It is useful for code that must be executed when the try block doesn't create any exception
2. finally clause:Its is useful for code that must be executed irrespective of whether an exception is generated or not.

try ... except (...) ... [finally]

List comprehensions help to create and manage lists in a simpler and
clearer way than using map(), filter() and lambda. Each list comprehension
consists of an expression followed by a for clause, then zero or more for or
if clauses.

Python can run of every operating system like UNIX/LINUX, Mac, Windows and others.

One of the disadvantage of the Python programming language is it is not suited for fast and memory intensive tasks.

Objects referenced from the global namespaces of Python modules are not always deallocated when Python exits. This may happen if there are circular references. There are also certain bits of memory ...

Yes python strongly support regular expression. Other languages supporting regular expressions are: Delphi, Java, Java script, .NET, Perl, Php, Posix, python, Ruby, Tcl, Visual Basic, XML schema, VB script, Visual Basic 6.

At the same time he began implementing Python, Guido van Rossum was also reading the published scripts from "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (a BBC comedy series from the seventies, in the...

Yes it does support.
