The ``None`` Object
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
.. index:: pair: object; None
|
|
|
|
Note that the :c:type:`PyTypeObject` for ``None`` is not directly exposed in the
|
|
Python/C API. Since ``None`` is a singleton, testing for object identity (using
|
|
``==`` in C) is sufficient. There is no :c:func:`!PyNone_Check` function for the
|
|
same reason.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: PyObject* Py_None
|
|
|
|
The Python ``None`` object, denoting lack of value. This object has no methods
|
|
and is :term:`immortal`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.12
|
|
:c:data:`Py_None` is :term:`immortal`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:macro:: Py_RETURN_NONE
|
|
|
|
Return :c:data:`Py_None` from a function.
