None is not a keyword.  When it is, it will be more like a 'keyname'
(unrebindable name).

My opinion: until you understand Python as it is and are contributing to
its future development and have watched the development list for at least a
couple of months (as I did), I think it better to stick to
comp.lang.python.  After seven years with Python, I still restrain my
posting here ;-)  In any case, some of the main developers also read c.l.p
and will mention here things that need to be.
