Can you elaborate on that? Obviously it is not always appropriate to use None, but I've never seen it called a *fundamental* flaw.
I know that the null pointer has been called a billion-dollar mistake, but Python's None is not a null pointer.
(except in Cython, but that's Cython's fault here) Regards Antoine.
