I thought we were past using trick questions like this anyways! Since, you know, it would be easy for an experienced yet anxious programmer to get tripped up on this, but someone who just browsed "python interview questions 101" to breeze on through. Also it selects against experienced multi-language developers, since language-specific quirks like this are not generally useful information to keep front-loaded, but are trivial to become re-familiar with in a work environment, or even
gasp learn for the first time from a co-worker or helpful article.
If the industry as a whole cared about evidence-based, non-superstitious, non-monoculture-reinforcing hiring practices, we'd realize that tripping people up and judging programming capability based on minutia is as unfair as it is self-defeating.
