Is there a way to instantiate None object?

[hovnatan]

I need to instantiate None object. I tried _target_ : <empty> that didn't work. Is there a way to do that?

[odelalleau]

Did you try using as _target_ a callable that returns None?

[hovnatan]

I created a function returning None and that worked. Thanks @odelalleau ! Is there something in Python standard library returning None so that I don't write my own function?

[odelalleau]

I guess print() does :)

[hovnatan]

_target_: builtins.print worked. Thanks @odelalleau !

You could also instantiate types.NoneType (in python3.10+)

from types import NoneType
assert NoneType() is None

so _target_: types.NoneType could work.
