Hi,

there's also
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#the-standard-type-hierarchy

None

    This type has a single value. There is a single object with this
    value. This object is accessed through the built-in name None. It is
    used to signify the absence of a value in many situations, e.g., it
    is returned from functions that don’t explicitly return anything.
    Its truth value is false.


Cheers
