Python Interview Questions

1How do I parcel out work among a bunch of worker threads?
Use the Queue module to create a queue containing a list of jobs. The Queue class maintains a list of objects with .put(obj) to add an item to the queue and .get() to return an item. The class will take care of the locking necessary to ensure that each job is handed out exactly once.
Here's a trivial example:
import threading, Queue, time

# The worker thread gets jobs off the queue. When the queue is empty, it
# assumes there will be no more work and exits.
# (Realistically workers will run until terminated.)
def worker ():
print 'Running worker'
time.sleep(0.1)
while True:
try:
arg = q.get(block=False)
except Queue.Empty:
print 'Worker', threading.currentThread(),
print 'queue empty'
break
else:
print 'Worker', threading.currentThread(),
print 'running with argument', arg
time.sleep(0.5)

# Create queue
q = Queue.Queue()

# Start a pool of 5 workers
for i in range(5):
t = threading.Thread(target=worker, name='worker %i' % (i+1))
t.start()

# Begin adding work to the queue
for i in range(50):
q.put(i)

# Give threads time to run
print 'Main thread sleeping'
time.sleep(5)

When run, this will produce the following output:

Running worker Running worker Running worker Running worker Running worker Main thread sleeping Worker running with argument 0 Worker running with argument 1 Worker running with argument 2 Worker running with argument 3 Worker running with argument 4 Worker running with argument 5 ...

2How do I delete a file? (And other file questions...)
Use os.remove(filename) or os.unlink(filename);

3How do I copy a file?
The shutil module contains a copyfile() function.

4.How do I modify a string in place?
You can't, because strings are immutable. If you need an object with this ability, try converting the string to a list or use the array module:

>>> s = "Hello, world"
>>> a = list(s)
>>>print a
['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ',', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']
>>> a[7:] = list("there!")
>>>''.join(a)
'Hello, there!'


>>> import array
>>> a = array.array('c', s)
>>> print a
array('c', 'Hello, world')
>>> a[0] = 'y' ; print a
array('c', 'yello world')
>>> a.tostring()
'yello, world'

5. How do I use strings to call functions/methods?
There are various techniques.

* The best is to use a dictionary that maps strings to functions. The primary advantage of this technique is that the strings do not need to match the names of the functions. This is also the primary technique used to emulate a case construct:

def a():
pass

def b():
pass

dispatch = {'go': a, 'stop': b} # Note lack of parens for funcs

dispatch[get_input()]() # Note trailing parens to call function
*
Use the built-in function getattr():

import foo
getattr(foo, 'bar')()

Note that getattr() works on any object, including classes, class instances, modules, and so on.

This is used in several places in the standard library, like this:

class Foo:
def do_foo(self):
...
def do_bar(self):
...

f = getattr(foo_instance, 'do_' + opname)
f()

*
Use locals() or eval() to resolve the function name:

def myFunc():
print "hello"

fname = "myFunc"

f = locals()[fname]
f()

f = eval(fname)
f()

Note: Using eval() is slow and dangerous. If you don't have absolute control over the contents of the string, someone could pass a string that resulted in an arbitrary function being executed.

6. Is there an equivalent to Perl's chomp() for removing trailing newlines from strings?
Starting with Python 2.2, you can use S.rstrip("\r\n") to remove all occurences of any line terminator from the end of the string S without removing other trailing whitespace. If the string S represents more than one line, with several empty lines at the end, the line terminators for all the blank lines will be removed:

>>> lines = ("line 1 \r\n"
... "\r\n"
... "\r\n")
>>> lines.rstrip("\n\r")
"line 1 "

Since this is typically only desired when reading text one line at a time, using S.rstrip() this way works well.

For older versions of Python, There are two partial substitutes:

* If you want to remove all trailing whitespace, use the rstrip() method of string objects. This removes all trailing whitespace, not just a single newline.
* Otherwise, if there is only one line in the string S, use S.splitlines()[0].

7. Why does os.path.isdir() fail on NT shared directories?
The solution appears to be always append the "\" on the end of shared drives.

>>> import os
>>>os.path.isdir( '\\\\rorschach\\public')
0
>>>os.path.isdir( '\\\\rorschach\\public\\')
1

It helps to think of share points as being like drive letters. Example:

k: is not a directory
k:\ is a directory
k:\media is a directory
k:\media\ is not a directory

The same rules apply if you substitute "k:" with "\conkyfoo":

\\conky\foo is not a directory
\\conky\foo\ is a directory
\\conky\foo\media is a directory
\\conky\foo\media\ is not a directory

Web Python
Some host providers only let you run CGI scripts in a certain directory, often named cgi-bin. In this case all you have to do to run the script is to call it like this:

http://my_server.tld/cgi-bin/my_script.py

The script will have to be made executable by "others". Give it a 755 permission or check the executable boxes if there is a graphical FTP interface.

Some hosts let you run CGI scripts in any directory. In some of these hosts you don't have to do anything do configure the directories. In others you will have to add these lines to a file named .htaccess in the directory you want to run CGI scripts from:

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .py

If the file does not exist create it. All directories below a directory with a .htaccess file will inherit the configurations. So if you want to be able to run CGI scripts from all directories create this file in the document root.

To run a script saved at the root:

http://my_server.tld/my_script.py

If it was saved in some directory:

http://my_server.tld/some_dir/some_subdir/my_script.py

Make sure all text files you upload to the server are uploaded as text (not binary), specially if you are in Windows, otherwise you will have problems.

8.How can my code discover the name of an object?
Generally speaking, it can't, because objects don't really have names. Essentially, assignment always binds a name to a value; The same is true of def and class statements, but in that case the value is a callable. Consider the following code:

class A:
pass

B = A

a = B()
b = a
print b
<__main__.a>
print a
<__main__.a>

Arguably the class has a name: even though it is bound to two names and invoked through the name B the created instance is still reported as an instance of class A. However, it is impossible to say whether the instance's name is a or b, since both names are bound to the same value.

Generally speaking it should not be necessary for your code to "know the names" of particular values. Unless you are deliberately writing introspective programs, this is usually an indication that a change of approach might be beneficial.

In comp.lang.python, Fredrik Lundh once gave an excellent analogy in answer to this question:

The same way as you get the name of that cat you found on your porch: the cat (object) itself cannot tell you its name, and it doesn't really care -- so the only way to find out what it's called is to ask all your neighbours (namespaces) if it's their cat (object)...

....and don't be surprised if you'll find that it's known by many names, or no name at all!

9. Is there an equivalent of C's "?:" ternary operator?
No.

10. How do I convert a number to a string?
To convert, e.g., the number 144 to the string '144', use the built-in function str(). If you want a hexadecimal or octal representation, use the built-in functions hex() or oct(). For fancy formatting, use the % operator on strings, e.g. "%04d" % 144 yields '0144' and "%.3f" % (1/3.0) yields '0.333'. See the library reference manual for details.

11How do I read (or write) binary data?
or complex data formats, it's best to use the struct module. It allows you to take a string containing binary data (usually numbers) and convert it to Python objects; and vice versa.

For example, the following code reads two 2-byte integers and one 4-byte integer in big-endian format from a file:

import struct

f = open(filename, "rb") # Open in binary mode for portability
s = f.read(8)
x, y, z = struct.unpack(">hhl", s)


The '>' in the format string forces big-endian data; the letter 'h' reads one "short integer" (2 bytes), and 'l' reads one "long integer" (4 bytes) from the string.

12.How do I run a subprocess with pipes connected to both input and output?
Use the popen2 module. For example:

import popen2
fromchild, tochild = popen2.popen2("command")
tochild.write("input\n")
tochild.flush()
output = fromchild.readline()

13.How can I mimic CGI form submission (METHOD=POST)?
I would like to retrieve web pages that are the result of POSTing a form. Is there existing code that would let me do this easily?

Yes. Here's a simple example that uses httplib:

#!/usr/local/bin/python

import httplib, sys, time

### build the query string
qs = "First=Josephine&MI=Q&Last=Public"

### connect and send the server a path
httpobj = httplib.HTTP('www.some-server.out-there', 80)
httpobj.putrequest('POST', '/cgi-bin/some-cgi-script')
### now generate the rest of the HTTP headers...
httpobj.putheader('Accept', '*/*')
httpobj.putheader('Connection', 'Keep-Alive')
httpobj.putheader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
httpobj.putheader('Content-length', '%d' % len(qs))
httpobj.endheaders()
httpobj.send(qs)
### find out what the server said in response...
reply, msg, hdrs = httpobj.getreply()
if reply != 200:
sys.stdout.write(httpobj.getfile().read())

Note that in general for URL-encoded POST operations, query strings must be quoted by using urllib.quote(). For example to send name="Guy Steele, Jr.":

>>> from urllib import quote
>>> x = quote("Guy Steele, Jr.")
>>> x
'Guy%20Steele,%20Jr.'
>>> query_string = "name="+x
>>> query_string
'name=Guy%20Steele,%20Jr.'

14. How do I emulate os.kill() in Windows?
Use win32api:

def kill(pid):
"""kill function for Win32"""
import win32api
handle = win32api.OpenProcess(1, 0, pid)
return (0 != win32api.TerminateProcess(handle, 0))

15. How do I call a method defined in a base class from a derived class that overrides it?
If you're using new-style classes, use the built-in super() function:

class Derived(Base):
def meth (self):
super(Derived, self).meth()

If you're using classic classes: For a class definition such as class Derived(Base): ... you can call method meth() defined in Base (or one of Base's base classes) as Base.meth(self, arguments...). Here, Base.meth is an unbound method, so you need to provide the self argument.

16. How can I organize my code to make it easier to change the base class?
You could define an alias for the base class, assign the real base class to it before your class definition, and use the alias throughout your class. Then all you have to change is the value assigned to the alias. Incidentally, this trick is also handy if you want to decide dynamically (e.g. depending on availability of resources) which base class to use. Example:

BaseAlias =
class Derived(BaseAlias):
def meth(self):
BaseAlias.meth(self)

17. How do I create static class data and static class methods?
Static data (in the sense of C++ or Java) is easy; static methods (again in the sense of C++ or Java) are not supported directly.

For static data, simply define a class attribute. To assign a new value to the attribute, you have to explicitly use the class name in the assignment:

class C:
count = 0 # number of times C.__init__ called

def __init__(self):
C.count = C.count + 1

def getcount(self):
return C.count # or return self.count

c.count also refers to C.count for any c such that isinstance(c, C) holds, unless overridden by c itself or by some class on the base-class search path from c.__class__ back to C.

Caution: within a method of C, an assignment like self.count = 42 creates a new and unrelated instance vrbl named "count" in self's own dict. Rebinding of a class-static data name must always specify the class whether inside a method or not:

C.count = 314

Static methods are possible when you're using new-style classes:

class C:
def static(arg1, arg2, arg3):
# No 'self' parameter!
...
static = staticmethod(static)

However, a far more straightforward way to get the effect of a static method is via a simple module-level function:

def getcount():
return C.count

If your code is structured so as to define one class (or tightly related class hierarchy) per module, this supplies the desired encapsulation.

18. How can I overload constructors (or methods) in Python?
This answer actually applies to all methods, but the question usually comes up first in the context of constructors.

In C++ you'd write

class C {
C() { cout << "No arguments\n"; } C(int i) { cout << "Argument is " << i="None):">

19. How do I use Python for CGI?
On the Microsoft IIS server or on the Win95 MS Personal Web Server you set up Python in the same way that you would set up any other scripting engine.

Run regedt32 and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\ScriptMap

and enter the following line (making any specific changes that your system may need):

.py :REG_SZ: c:\\python.exe -u %s %s

This line will allow you to call your script with a simple reference like: http://yourserver/scripts/yourscript.py provided "scripts" is an "executable" directory for your server (which it usually is by default). The "-u" flag specifies unbuffered and binary mode for stdin - needed when working with binary data.

In addition, it is recommended that using ".py" may not be a good idea for the file extensions when used in this context (you might want to reserve *.py for support modules and use *.cgi or *.cgp for "main program" scripts).

In order to set up Internet Information Services 5 to use Python for CGI processing, please see the following links:

http://www.e-coli.net/pyiis_server.html (for Win2k Server) http://www.e-coli.net/pyiis.html (for Win2k pro)

Configuring Apache is much simpler. In the Apache configuration file httpd.conf, add the following line at the end of the file:

ScriptInterpreterSource Registry

Then, give your Python CGI-scripts the extension .py and put them in the cgi-bin directory

E.confucius said that to know the future
we have to understand the pasthis
time transport ,communications and scientific knowledge were less
developed than they are today.news took weeks to travel where as today
satellite links connect the continents virtually instantaneously.but
our technological advances in the field of
communications seem not to have
improved our capacity to understand one another
17.in confucius daay people were more intelligent C
18.we understand each otheer better now than in confucius time because
we can travel more quickly. F
19.we have made great improvements in transport since confucius day T
20.none of our scientific discoveries has really improved our lives C

F.words in totalitarian systems have an unhealthy importance and in such
states now attempting to return to a more democratic normality there has
been a natural inevitable and healthy devaluation of words whereas
previouslu a single word used in a sppech
or even a play or poem could be
a serious political event now the words come cheaper almost free.
politics is politics again and poetry only poetry
21.totalitarian state devalue words T
22.only non-totalitarian regimes produce poetry of political importance
T
23.writers under totalitarian regimes have to choose their words care
fully T

G.statistics show that millions of vehicals have beencarried by shuttle
over the past 30 years through alpine tunnels withouty one ever catching
tire.in the alpine tunnels.drivers and passengers sit in theirvhehicals on
the shuttle trains.only one vehical has evercaught fire on the bussy
french motorail equivalent system.this sort of accidents is not possible
in a closed shuttle. assertinos that a vehical fire will lead to
catastophe have no basis. since the resoures exit do detect,control and
extingush a fire and to remove any persons present safely to an adjoning
wagon, leaving any surviving fire facing rapid extinction within a wagan
built to contain fire for 30 minutes. catastrophe seems very unlikely.

25. if a car cauget fire in a rail shuttle, probably none would be killed.

(T)
26.at least one vehical has cauht fire in an alpine tunnel.(f)
27.if a fire started in a wagon, it would be allowed to burn itself out in
30 minutes.(f)
28.if would theoreticaly be possible for a car to cath fire in aclosed
shuttle system.(F)


H)every form of art is protected by copy write,upon the expiration

of whitch the property passes into the public domain and becomes freely
available to any one wishing to exploit it commercialy. the time has come
when all treasures shoud pass to the controled of a trust,and by this made
readily available to anyone on pament of a fee or royality.the income
fromthe works of tagore would alone be enarmous.these who now main
financialbenifit from his genius should make some contribution to the
welfare of the arts in general.
29.tagore's plays are not protected by copyright. F
30.tagore's decendants should be asked to make some contribution to the
arts C
31.instead of buying a ticket , theatregoers should pay a fee to trust for
the benefit of the arts. C
32. More people could go to the theatre if copy rightwere abolished C

I. Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new technology,
which one of the reasons it is often poorly understood and reported.
Many computers, but no means all,are now linked togetherin networks which
allow users on one computer to communicate with others on the same
network.If a computer is not networked,no manipulation of its datafrom
another machine is possible.So long as users are authorised, networking
is just a way of making work easier and more productive.Hacking on the
other hand,is the unauthorised use of networks or unauthorised entty
into the computers themselves.Most people do not need to break into the
networks they use,since they are already accredited users.
33. Most hackers are authorised to break into networks F
34. Computers are only vulerable to the unauthorised manipulation of
their data via another computer if they are networked T
35.The main reason why it is relatively easy to break into a computer is
that few people understand the technology. C
36.Hackers do not work fot the firms whose networks they break into. T

J.Although invaders represent a threat to the conservation of flora and
fauna,there are two special cases in which
invasion have been deliberately
brought about.One is the desire to control presents by natural predators,
whichmay have to be brought in from other countries.The second is
releasing organisms into the wild(or on to farms,from which they might
escape)that are completely novel,beacause they have been genetically
engineered.There is nothing intrinsically sinister about engineered
organisms,but any novelty must be regarded as a potential invader.
37.Pest control does not threat the conservation of flora and fauna. T
38.Genetically engineered organisms must always be regarded as poten-
tially dangerous. F
39.Natural predators are work harmful than pests.T
40.Genetically engineered organisms escaped from the farm,they will be
pose a threat to wildlife. T



K.electronics technology is coming to the
rescue of helicopters which can
be grounded or crash in icy conditions the machines are especially
vulnerable to the build up of ice on both their rotors and engine air
intake when operating in cold damp conditions.the problem is 2 fold
ice increases the weight and the build upp makes the aerofoils
less efficient .now at last a detector has been devised which the company
hopes will mean safer flightsand less frequent grounding.unlike most
devices in use at present it can detect the liquid water content of cloud
above freezing level.so the warning is ginven before the potential hazard
is encountered.

39.an electronic device has been invented which will prevent the build
up of ice on helicopter rotors F
40.helicopters are sometimes grounded because in cold damp weather their
engine air intakes and rotors malfuntion
owing to the formatrion of ice.
T
41.only one device can at present detect the liquid water content of
cloud above freezing level C
42.in future fewer helicopters will crash or have to grounded T


L.anyone whos has systematically examined faces will have perceived a
prepondreance although not a proliferation of asymmtry.whether or not
the expression is volitinal and self controlled or spontaneous appears
to predict facial asymmetry as does the type of emotion protrayed.positive
emotions are usually displayed symmetrically although a left sided
representation of a negative emotion is more common.posed expressions and
negative emotions are less likely to be symmetrically represented.
43.an angry person is more likely to have a lopsided expression than
someone who is smiling T
44.a deliberately assumed facial expression will always be asymmetrical F
45.an actor is likely to smile symmetrically when acting C
46.more self conscious people are likely to have less asymmetrically
facial expressions than those who are less aware of themselves T


M. human existence is not susceptible of arbitary division between
consciousness and unconsciousness.the conscious world invades and shapes
the activities of the unconscious while many of the great achievements of
humanity's waking hours were wholly or partly inspires bu dreams .even if
it could be argued that dreams precede experience such a dichotomy could
not be drawn as the influence of dreaming on the waking state would remain
unclear but as yet no common vocabulary exists to record the substance
of prenatal dreaming
47.sleep can be a creative state. T
48.it is difficult to tell whether a sleeper is dr3eaming or not C
49. if we knew what babies dream about before they are born we could
show that conscious and unconscious mond influence one another F
50. it is untrue to claim that the conscious and unconscious worlds never
impinge on one another F

of which blood lacks inside the vessels .the person suffers heart attact.
one possible solution is to remove a litre of blood or to control the
growth of red blood cells.
53.lung disease precedes the disease x T
54.a person who gets heart attack always has disease x F
55.people suffering from disease x look healthier C
56.one litre of blood must be removed to cure this T

K.electronics technology is coming to the rescue of helicopters which can be grounded or crash in icy conditions the machines are especially
vulnerable to the build up of ice on both their rotors and engine air intake when operating in cold damp conditions.the problem is 2 fold
ice increases the weight and the build upp makes the aerofoils less efficient .now at last a detector has been devised which the company
hopes will mean safer flightsand less frequent grounding.unlike most devices in use at present it can detect the liquid water content of cloud
above freezing level.so the warning is ginven before the potential hazard is encountered.

39.an electronic device has been invented which will prevent the build up of ice on helicopter rotors F
40.helicopters are sometimes grounded because in cold damp weather their engine air intakes and rotors malfuntion owing to the formatrion of ice. T
