You can already do this today with 1.5.2, if you use a 'del None' statement:
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Jul 23 1999, 06:38:16) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs- on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> from time import time, gmtime
>>> year, month, None, None, None, None, weekday, None, None = gmtime(time())
>>> print year, month, None, weekday
2000 3 0 3
>>> del None
>>> print year, month, None, weekday
2000 3 None 3
>>>
if None will become a keyword in Py3K this pyidiom should better be written as
year, month, None, None, None, None, ... = ...
if sys.version[0] == '1': del None
or
try:
del None
except SyntaxError:
pass # Wow running Py3K here!
I wonder, how much existinng code the None --> keyword change would brake.
