If the answer included programming then they were hired, if not, then they went to the
B list.

I don't want her/him to second-guess at all. I expect a straight and
honest answer.
Tim,
I've read your list and with one exception it all looks very reasonable. (As
an hobbiest, I'm amazed at just how much I have picked up.)
The set of questions I'm not sure I understand is the 'What version did ...

Heh. Tell me, when did strings get methods? :-)
IIRC, ~2.0? I'm cognizant of the shift happening from the string

- string building...do they use += or do they build a list
and use .join() to recombine them efficiently
I'm not dead sure about that, but I heard recently that python's been
optimized for that behaviour. That means: using += is almost as fast
as joining list. Besides, += is more obvious

I have used Python for a couple of projects last year and I found it
