New submission from Decorater:
I noticed that the Python interpreter does not interpret a empty string as None
so I have to do this unclean workaround every time in functions that cannot
have a empty string passed to them.
Here is some example Code I have to do to bypass this (the function itself):
def create_one(url):
if url == '':
url = None
if url is not None:
url_data = urllib.parse.urlencode(dict(url=url))
byte_data = str.encode(url_data)
ret = urllib.request.urlopen(API_CREATE, data=byte_data).read().strip()
almost_result = str(ret)
closer_result = almost_result.strip("b")
result = closer_result.strip("'")
return result
else:
URLError('The given URL Cannot be \'None\'.')
So yeah I suggest for the interpreter to interpret empty strings as None so
that way it can cleanup some lines of trying to parse it to None which can be a
lot of work. It also makes code simpler as well.
