Public bug reported:

The result of some OpenStack objects, for example a server or a volume,
do not compare with None as expected. For example if a server has been
found and is clearly not None (e.g. I can print out its name) the test
"server!=None" will be False. This really isn't the expected behavior. I
can worked around this by using the "server is not None" but this would
make bugs appear very easily if I slip back into "!=" which is my usual
habit, and could be other's habit as well. I have attached a simple
script which should reproduce the bug.
