On 'None is a constant':
Erm. I think you've got carried away with simplifying this and gone down
a blind alley. None is a literal, and like any other literal can't be
rebound.
no, it's not -- None is keyword, and just like any other keyword, it can't
be re-bound. However, every other keyword I tried to rebind results in a
generic:
It's both, really. In many ways it's only a keyword because Python
doesn't otherwise have a way of creating non-rebindable names. It's
purpose is to represent the singular object of NoneType, and in that
sense it's a literal as much as [] or "".
