> How do you know that s is a string? It's a presumption based on the original problem statement.
The example shown is a simple T/F check, which happens to determine
the "emptiness" of strings.
If type checking is absolutely necessary, one could use
if isinstance(s, basestring):
if s:
print "not empty"
else:
print "empty"
