Several functions in the time module can have the time value they operate on omitted to indicate the current time, but they do not accept None as equivalent to omitting the value. It should be equivalent.

Logged In: YES user_id=3066 I generally expect that None should be accepted for an omitted arg, but Guido has certainly never cared about that. Given that no existing code passes None, it's ok to reject. If the truth be told, though, the current situation certainly complicates some existing code!

Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Assigning back to Fred. I fully support the ipath on the basis that it will make user code less complicated. Blunk's patch had some minor review comments, but is basically ready to go.
