I\'ve got an Nonetype value x, it\'s generally a number, but could be None. I want to divide it by a number, but Python raises:

Answer 1

You should check to make sure the value is not None before trying to perform any calculations on it:

my_value = None
if my_value is not None:
    print int(my_value) / 2

Note: my_value was intentionally set to None to prove the code works and that the check is being performed.
