Common Python Interview Questions

Q: What are Python decorators and how do you use them?

A: Decorators are functions that modify the behavior of other functions. They use the @ syntax. Example: @decorator above a function definition. Common use cases: @property for getters/setters, @staticmethod, @classmethod. You can create custom decorators: def my_decorator(func): def wrapper(*args, **kwargs): # do something; return func(*args, **kwargs); return wrapper

Q: Explain the difference between list, tuple, and set in Python

A: Lists are mutable, ordered collections: [1,2,3]. Tuples are immutable, ordered: (1,2,3). Sets are mutable, unordered, unique elements: {1,2,3}. Use lists for ordered collections you'll modify, tuples for fixed data (dict keys, multiple return values), sets for uniqueness and membership testing (O(1) lookup).

Q: What is a context manager and why use 'with' statement?

A: Context managers handle setup and teardown of resources automatically. The 'with' statement ensures cleanup happens even if exceptions occur. Example: with open('file.txt') as f: # file automatically closes. You can create custom context managers using __enter__ and __exit__ methods or the contextlib module.

Q: How does Python's GIL affect multithreading?

A: The Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) allows only one thread to execute Python bytecode at a time. This means multithreading in Python doesn't achieve true parallelism for CPU-bound tasks. For CPU-intensive work, use multiprocessing instead. Threading still works well for I/O-bound operations where threads spend time waiting.

Python Interview Preparation Tips

3

Know the difference between shallow and deep copy

4

Practice with Python's standard library: collections, itertools, functools

5

Understand duck typing, EAFP (Easier to Ask Forgiveness than Permission) principle
