You should really read through chapter 2 (Built-in Objects) of the library reference. All that stuff is core Python functionality that you should be aware of. Reading chapter 3 (Built-in Types) is also a really good idea. A lot of the rest is good too, but there is really no excuse for not knowing the contents of those chapters. ;) It's just a few pages, and very useful to know.
