Which is probably more efficient than one-liner updating the dict with

    mydict.update((k,'Null') for k,v in mydict.items() if v is None)

as in

 >>> mydict = dict(a=1, b=None, c=3, d=None, e=5)
 >>> mydict
 {'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': None, 'e': 5, 'd': None}
 >>> mydict.update((k,'Null') for k,v in mydict.items() if v is None)
 >>> mydict
 {'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 'Null', 'e': 5, 'd': 'Null'}
 
(too lazy to measure ;-)
