Hey list, I've had this weird experience where I was forgetting that empty strings were a valid value for the database, but it also means no value in web forms. I had a situation where ``lambda x: not x or some_validation(x)`` validation didn't fire the check for existence of the empty string in the database column with UNIQUE constraint and allowing NULL.
I ended up doing something like: ``value = form.field.value or None`` for all optional fields. How would you people handle this case?
