As Tim suggested, have a look at the masked array module. However, the result 
will NOT be exportable to matrices, unless you fill the missing value first 
(for example, with -99 ;)). I use MaskedArrays a lot, they're quite flexible.

An alternative would be to use nan instead of None:
>>> import numpy as N
>>> x = [[1, nan], [2, 3]]
>>> print N.matrix(x)
[[ 1.                 nan]
 [ 2.          3.        ]]

Of course, the solution will depend on what you need...
