Either I'm a really excellent Python dev or those aren't top 1% questions. Most were basic gotcha's. Any full-time Pythonista should know that stuff after 6mo/year of experience. Top 50%.
> Q: How can you swap the values of two variables with a single line of Python code?
Is poor question for multiple assignment. Limited use, widely quoted on every "learn you python" list ever. Better would be "How to return multiple values?" "Diff between func(args) and func(*args)?" Also, candidate should express knowledge that "(a, b)" is same as "a, b" and that in most cases comma make the tuple. Parens are (mostly) for grouping/precedence.
