Python does not have memory locations. None *is* an actual object. It has attributes, it has standard behaviours, it fits in the same object model as everything else in Python does. >> As you said, "?" is not an operator, so "a?.b" clearly can't break down >> into "a? .b". > > > The problem is that '.'

This is utter nonsense on par with trying to claim that "x <= y" should be parsed as if it's a modified form of assignment since "x = y" would be assignment. Do I really need to explain how two-character operators work?
