ambv / null

Implements the null object pattern. This is a synchronized copy from Bitbucket kept for Travis support.

null

Implements the null object pattern.

Provides:

• a Null singleton that can be used like None (but is not None and is not equal to None)
• a NullList that returns Null instead of raising IndexError
• a NullDict that returns Null instead of raising KeyError
• a nullify() routine that converts mappings and sequences to the nullified variant
• an unset singleton for clearing up APIs to distinguish between a keyword argument that is set by the user as None and simply not set by the user

Use Bitbucket to report issues:

How do I run the tests?

The easiest way would be to extract the source tarball and run:

$ python test/test_null.py
