Fields with NULL and blank values

Question

I'm writing my first Python web application. My code is difficult because it often needs to treat fields separately if they contain a blank value object.propery = '' and a Null value object.property = None.

Is there a simple way of dealing with these two values as one? I've noticed some languages have a isNullorEmpty() function. I've also noticed that if a DB field is set to contain numbers then assigning a blank value to the field just makes it Null.

You could just use

if object.property:
    ....

This will work for empty strings and None.
