It's not now.. but if None where to really represent the concept None, as in not bound to anything, it would evaluate to nothing. Given the statement: a = None And the following are all true: a == None (a) == (None) (a) == () (None) == () Then this "conceptual" comparison should also be true: if (None): == if (): if (): == if: Comparing if's like that wouldn't be a valid code of course, but it demonstrates the consistency in which the comparison is made. I think. ;-) Of course this is all hypothetical anyways, so it could be what ever we decide makes the most since, include not changing anything.
