Is it possible only to declare a variable without

Question

Is it possible to declare a variable in Python, like so?:

var

so that it initialized to None? It seems like Python allows this, but as soon as you access it, it crashes. Is this possible? If not, why?

EDIT: I want to do this for cases like this:

value

for index in sequence:

   if value == None and conditionMet:
       value = index
       break

It is a good question and unfortunately bad answers as var = None is already assigning a value, and if your script runs multiple times it is overwritten with None every time.

It is not the same as defining without assignment. I am still trying to figure out how to bypass this issue.
