None assigment

[Daniel Dittmar]

None is defined in __builtins__ (type dir (__builtins__)), so it is not a
special name, it's just a name defined in the outer most namespace.

You can locally redefine 'dir' or 'type' as well - and how often did I fall
for that one.

You can even redefine it globally: __builtins__.None = 'Zilch' - not that
you should.
