[Debian-hebrew-package] Bug#583092: Bug#583092: should return None instead of none

[kobi zamir]

This is not a bug in libhdate-python. It is not a bug at all ... it is
how the library work.

the C library libhdate ( http://packages.debian.org/sid/libhdate1 ) function:
char* hdate_get_parasha_string  	(int parasha, int s);
actually returns the static char* 'none' for parasha number 0,

this behavior can be changed in future versions of the C library. i do
not believe many usres  relay on this behavior, but if someone do
relay on this, a change in the behavior of the function may be
problematic. for example: if i will change the behavior of this
function, the script you suggested for printing only days with parasha
will not work correctly.
