title: List minimum in Python with None?
body: <p>Is there any clever in-built function or something that will return <code>1</code> for the <code>min()</code> example below? (I bet there is a solid reason for it not to return anything, but in my particular case I need it to disregard <code>None</code> values really bad!)</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; max([None, 1,2])
  2
  &gt;&gt;&gt; min([None, 1,2])
  &gt;&gt;&gt; 
  </code></pre>
