Still no return of string. The null testing is not really the deal.
that could be replaced with anything EG:

def ReturnMethod(request, x):
    if request is 'random':
            return x
    else: print "No String for you...False!"

def SendMethod(request):
    xstring = "Some text"
    ReturnMethod(request, xstring)

SendMethod('random')
