If I split that into the individual words "or" and "None", quite a lot. Looking for "or None" turns quite a bunch of matches too. "or_none" simply applies the PEP 8 convention for variable names made of multiple words. Of course, you can propose another name that involves "none", too. > Perhaps we can turn our attention to other languages like SQL and C# > and borrow their term for "value that is allowed to be of a specific > type (or types) as well as the null value". It is quite well-known and obvious that Python was inspired by C# and SQL, so why not indeed? Perhaps you should start by asking Guido if he wants to rename None to "NULL". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20341> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
