I agree. An attribute of a ('pwd' Python module) password database entry
corresponds to the field of a line in a 'passwd' text file. So it makes sense
that when the field is empty in the text file, the corresponding attribute be
an empty string and never None if it is not an integer (FWIW Android does not
have a 'passwd' file).
Changing the title of the issue.
