The alternative would be adding a new singleton to mean mostly the same thing as None, but having the property of comparing less than all other objects and then recommend its use in the DB-API for Python 3 applications...
Which I think would be a *really bad* idea, because there would then no longer be One Obvious Way to represent and process null values. E.g. you would no longer be able to write 'value is None' and trust it to work on all kinds of null value you're likely to get. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
