R. David Murray added the comment: See http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0294/ for some background on this. The unexpected thing is actually that the types module still exists at all in Python3 :)
That said, its documentation could, indeed, use some improvement to address this kind of question. Searching the python-dev email list for 'NoneType removal types module" turns up some interesting posts, back in the 2.3 days...basically, type(None) is the One True Way to get NoneType :) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19438> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
