60 | <a id='l2h-365' xml:id='l2h-365'></a>Note that the <tt class="ctype">PyTypeObject</tt> for <code>None</code> is not directly | |
61 | exposed in the Python/C API. Since <code>None</code> is a singleton, | |
62 | testing for object identity (using "<tt class="samp">==</tt>" in C) is sufficient. | |
63 | There is no <tt class="cfunction">PyNone_Check()</tt> function for the same reason. | |

65 | <P> | |
66 | <dl><dt>PyObject* <b><tt id='l2h-366' xml:id='l2h-366' class="cdata">Py_None</tt></b></dt> | |
67 | <dd> | |
68 | The Python <code>None</code> object, denoting lack of value. This object | |
69 | has no methods. It needs to be treated just like any other object | |
70 | with respect to reference counts. | |
71 | </dd></dl> | |
