<p>This recipe builds on two previously posted recipes for a <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/68205/">null</a> or <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576447/">dummy</a> object by modifying a few methods (e.g. as in SQL, <code>Null == Null</code> is Null, not True), supporting most (all?) special methods (e.g. int(Null)) and providing correct pickling/unpickling.</p>
