This object is returned by functions that don't explicitly return a value. It supports no special operations. There is exactly one null object, named -``None`` (a built-in name). +``None`` (a built-in name). Calling ``type(None)`` produces the same singleton.

I know this is technically correct, but it will look like you mean "calling type with None as argument" (same for the other singletons). Probably better to say something like "``type(None)()`` produces ...". Georg
