That says "throw away every item in a dict if the Value is None".
Are there any tighter or smarmier ways to do that?
Yes.
class nonnulldict(dict) :
def __setitem__(self, k, v) :
if not (v is None) :
dict.__setitem__(self, k, v)
That creates a subclass of "dict" which ignores stores of None values.
So you never store the unwanted items at all.
