Fixes to syborg-graphicswrapper.vcproj These changes allow syborg-graphicswrapper to link against the hostthreadadapter and khronosapiwrapper libraries built by the graphics.simulator component. The .vcproj file uses relative paths, which requires that the following three packages are laid out as follows: os/ graphics adapt/ graphics.simulator qemu

.. highlightlang:: c

.. _noneobject:

The None Object
---------------

.. index:: object: None

Note that the :ctype:`PyTypeObject` for ``None`` is not directly exposed in the
Python/C API.  Since ``None`` is a singleton, testing for object identity (using
``==`` in C) is sufficient. There is no :cfunc:`PyNone_Check` function for the
same reason.


.. cvar:: PyObject* Py_None

   The Python ``None`` object, denoting lack of value.  This object has no methods.
   It needs to be treated just like any other object with respect to reference
   counts.


.. cmacro:: Py_RETURN_NONE

   Properly handle returning :cdata:`Py_None` from within a C function.

   .. versionadded:: 2.4
