@r000t That's only of one the possible answers :) Your proposal was my first answer. Then, I thought about the other ways :)

@r000t @x_cli Only if it's actually a string :)

object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

@bcl @r000t A string, or any object that implements __len__
That's my point on the third answer ;)

@x_cli @bcl Damn, never thought about someone passing an object that's straight up lying....

But testing for the string type solves a lot of that... maybe? Can you lie about that, too?

@r000t
You could subclass str 😅 But I guess this would be far-fetched. And you would be a str of sorts, so... 🙂
@bcl

@r000t @x_cli It's a common problem in python. None is just so easy to use.
