Holy unnecessarily complicated code Batman!

This is much simpler:

[steve at ando ~]$ python -m timeit -s "x = None" "if x is None: pass"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0738 usec per loop
[steve at ando ~]$ python -m timeit -s "x = True" "if x is None: pass"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0799 usec per loop

The difference is too small to be significant. If I run the same tests 
multiple times, the winner could easily change.
