Well, what does getlist return when the situation you're describing as
"getlist doesn't fetch anything" occurs? Does is raise an exception?
Does it return 0? Does it return None? Does it return an empty list? An
empty string? An empty tuple? Does it return False? Does it not return
at all and causes the universe to fall into a black hole?

 So, what I need to do is figure out a way to log

Please be less vague. What part do you have a problem with? Checking
whether "no value is fetched" or "log the fact"?
