None is moving slowly toward becoming a true constant. Perhaps the same should be true of True and False.
Problem with this is that there's currently lots of code out there that was recently modified to read try: True except NameError: True = 1 False = 0 That would become a syntax error if True/False were true constants. :-( --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
