Can you explain the problem you are seeing in more detail? Is mapnik throwing 
an error?

Depends on what you mean by empty - 0 features perhaps? In that case, Mapnik 
should still be able to open the Shapefile and then you can, in python, do:

ds = mapnik.Shapefile(file="your.shp")
if len(ds.all_features()) == 0:
   print 'this shapefile is empty'
