The key principle is do not try to store your data in a display format.

Never was my intention. I just hadn't anticipated needing to write my own function to handle something as (I would think) common as a NULL value in a database field.

I had been working with something very simple like:

for lines in cursor.fetchall()
        title = lines[1]
        first = lines[2]
        mid = lines[3]
        last = lines[4]
        ...

        print "%s %s %s %s" % (title, first, mid, last)
        print "%s" % (street)
        print "%s, %s %s" % (city, state, zipcode)
        print "%s" % (phone)
        print "%s" % (email)

etc. etc. for one format (supposed to look like a mailing label, more or less), and then I was going to experiment with other formatting later.

I'll work with the stuff you all have provided as I get time... thanks a bunch!
