10Note that the :ctype:`PyTypeObject` for ``None`` is not directly exposed in the
11Python/C API.  Since ``None`` is a singleton, testing for object identity (using
12``==`` in C) is sufficient. There is no :cfunc:`PyNone_Check` function for the
13same reason.

16.. cvar:: PyObject* Py_None
17
18   The Python ``None`` object, denoting lack of value.  This object has no methods.
19   It needs to be treated just like any other object with respect to reference
20   counts.

23.. cmacro:: Py_RETURN_NONE
24
25   Properly handle returning :cdata:`Py_None` from within a C function.
