No, it's a NoneType object (i.e. your variable contains None) Show us a bit of your code, so we can see why is None there. My guess is that you're trying to perform something on a function that does things in-place and doesn't return anything (e.g. list.append, list.sort) >>> a = [1, 3, 4, 2] >>> a = a.sort() >>> print a [None, None, None, None] >>> # should be >>> a = [1, 3, 4, 2] >>> a.sort() >>> print a [1, 2, 3, 4] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
