I'm sorry to say this is a excellent candidate for the DailyWTF. It's a
perfect exemple of uselessly overcomplificated non-idiomatic code. And
it doesn't even answers the OP's question.
The pythonic translation of the OP's java snippet is :
if some_str:
# code here
This will test that some_str is neither the None object (closer Python
equivalent to Java's null) nor an empty string. Whic is what the OP
asked for.
