This is a regression in 0.33 (39ced81f9a335f47bbf512c50139e35f1ff86705) because None is not a scalar for np.isscalar Test case: ```python >>> arr = full("a=a0..a2", None) >>> arr == None False ``` One workaround is (we can use `is` too but it is farther from the original code): ```python >>> arr.apply(lambda v: v == None) a a0 a1 a2 True True True ```
