MODERATORS
I wouldn't call this a "python thing".
I grew up with C and C/++ is still my main language, checking for empty strings is instinctive to me. It's cheap insurance and what does it cost, a couple cycles?
Though you won't find me using bare cstrings these days unless there is a damn good reason for it. So much extra work to handle them. Even in embedded work, String classes have superceded them.
