This is pretty much the same as for any language.
- What projects have you done with Python?
- What is your favorite Python reference?
- Have you worked with other people on code written in Python?
That's how I would judge. If I wanted to test, it would depend on whether I were looking for someone to write in 2.x or 3.x. Since I'm familiar with the 2.x stuff...
- How would you create a list containing the result of [insert operation] on another list?
- How would you do the above if you cared about memory usage?
- What tool do you use to debug your Python code?
CW'd because the question should be.
