Question

I have a CSV file and I am running a script against it to insert into a database.
If the value is blank then I don’t want to insert it. Here is what I have

if attrs[attr] != '' and attrs[attr] != None:
            log.info('Attriute ID: %s' % attr)
            log.info('Attriute Value: %s' % attrs[attr])
            sql = insert_attr_query(attrs[attr], object_id, attr)
            cursor.execute(sql)

It’s blank and it doesn’t = ” or None, then wth does it =?

Answer 1

It’s probably whitespace i.e. a tab or string with spaces try:-

attrs[attr].strip()
