The None Object
 | 
						|
---------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. index:: object: None
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that the :c:type:`PyTypeObject` for ``None`` is not directly exposed in the
 | 
						|
Python/C API.  Since ``None`` is a singleton, testing for object identity (using
 | 
						|
``==`` in C) is sufficient. There is no :c:func:`PyNone_Check` function for the
 | 
						|
same reason.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. c:var:: PyObject* Py_None
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   The Python ``None`` object, denoting lack of value.  This object has no methods.
 | 
						|
   It needs to be treated just like any other object with respect to reference
 | 
						|
   counts.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. c:macro:: Py_RETURN_NONE
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Properly handle returning :c:data:`Py_None` from within a C function (that is,
 | 
						|
   increment the reference count of None and return it.)
