Current behavior seems reasonable enough to me. From http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#equals(java.lang.Object) : "For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false." Given that the Java value of Jython's None is defined to be null, this is the correct behavior. Also, as doublep points out in msg5873, you normally want to use 'is None', this will be less surprising.
