I tried the COALESCE approach but I thought the query still returned (None,).
However, I just tried it again and I got a (Decimal('0'),) return.
I should be able to make that work.
Thanks everyone for your rapid assistance.
Best,
Hagen

Just do it in the query:
"SELECT COALESCE(SUM(revusd, 0)) FROM sfdc where saccount = 'Big Company' AND
stage LIKE 'Commit%';"
If SUM(revusd) is NULL then COALESCE will substitute 0.
