Interviews vary wildly based on the role and industry so you won't get a good answer for types of questions.

The key to coding interviews is to talk openly about what you're thinking. Wondering whether something will work? Tell them you have a hunch and are testing a possible solution. Worried you're skipping too much good practice? Tell them what you'd normally do, eg "I'd usually put a docstring here but I'll skip those for an interview".

They're mostly trying to work out how you think and approach problems so keep a running monologue going.

How about a senior engineer position?

First off, dust off your Python skills now. No need to look like an idiot by forgetting how to format a for loop or something. Secondly, chances are a technical interview is going to include 1 or more of the following: LeetCode: These are short, toy programs (typically 1 or 2 functions) which demonstrate A) you know how to program at all and B) some level of familiarity with common algorithms. You can practice for these easily, literally Google LeetCode. Toy projects: These are a step up in complexity, but typically more closely embody the kind of work you'll be doing at the company. They're hard to practice for, but have the familiarity to spin up a project with some basic dependencies in the framework expected. Conceptual questions: these are going to be relatively open-ended probings of your knowledge about relevant topics. For a software developer role, they might ask how you'd approach some higher-level architectural problem. Remember to explain your reasoning, and mention providing value to company at least once.

I don't like questions that test memorization. I don't work that way.

I've used most of the modules described quite a bit, but I couldn't necessarily tell you off the top of my head how to use any of them.

That came up in an interview once. The answer to the question involves me looking at pydoc and experimenting in the repl or shell for ~5 minutes. The whiteboard had neither.
