Re: Is it possible (and wise) to extend the None-type ?

hello,

I've the idea that I always have a lot of useless code in my programs,
like the next example.

 def _On_Menu_File_Open ( self, event = None ):
   if event :
    event.Skip ()

instead of

 def _O

So I would like to extend the None-type (if that's possible),
with a dummy Skip() method.

def Skipper(object):
    def Skip(): pass
skipper = Skipper()

def _On_Menu_File_Open ( self, event = skipper ):
   event.Skip ()

etc.
