None assigment

[Gregoire Welraeds]

While playing a bit with python 2.0, I found that I can assign some value
to None

EG: None= 2

which I found to be very pernicious because then the following, for
example, won't work any more:

>>> b= filter(None, [1,2,'',3])

Bug or feature ?

If it is a feature (I suppose it is not a bug :), what is the interest of
this ?
