not necessarily, for example:

import random
class OddClass:
     def __eq__(self, other):
         return [True, False][random.randint(0, 1)]

x = OddClass()
print x == None
print x == None
print x == None
print x == None
print x == None


Now, whether doing something like that is advisable or not, that's a 
different question; however nothing in python states that you couldn't 
have something that compare equal to None whether there is a bug or not 
in the comparison method.
