[Debian-hebrew-package] Bug#583092: none / None and python

[Ron Varburg]

I was asked, in a private mail, to explain 
why does None/none makes any difference.

I believe it is a good thing to keep conversation about the report
in the archive:

None is predefined, and interpreted to False.
 while none is like any other object.



I can modify a little the code snippet I included and get:

$ cat 
bugDemonstration
#! /usr/bin/python

import hdate

h = 
hdate.Hdate()
h.set_gdate(1, 1, 2010)
julian = h.get_julian()
holyday
 = h.get_holyday_string(1)
if not holyday:
    print "When 
get_holyday_string claims there is no holyday, one get:", holyday
parasha
 = h.get_parasha_string(julian)
if parasha:
    print "When 
get_paraha_string claims there is no parasha, one get:", parasha



a = None

print a

if a:

    print a



b = none

print b

if b:

    print b



$ ./bugDemonstration
When get_holyday_string claims there is 
no holyday, one get: None
When get_paraha_string claims there is no 
parasha, one get: none
None

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./bugDemonstration", line 20, in <module>

    b = none

NameError: name 'none' is not defined
