It's a fuzzy line. A good while back, there was a thread regarding Python interview questions: http://www.mail-archive.com/python-list@python.org/msg168971.html to which I replied with a pretty large list. The idea was not to ensure that people knew everything on it, but as a way to take stock of somebody means by "I know Python", which can mean anything from "I wrote _Hello World_ in Python once" to "I'm Guido/Raymond/Effbot". Along with the "Basics" section of that email, I'd expect a reasonable understanding of commonly-used libraries offered out of the box (at least a breadth of what is there, even if you haven't used them much). Most of the "history" items in that list are somewhat moot unless you have to support older Python (I still have some 2.4 installs that don't let me use the "with" statement or sqlite by default). -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
