Empty string is False right?

[AJ Ostergaard]

Hello,

First post so bear with me if I'm being a numpty ...

Is it me or is there something slightly counter intuitive and thus not  
so pythonesque about this:

 >>> s = ''
 >>> if s: True
... else: False
...
False
 >>> s and eval(s)
''
 >>>

Regards,
AJ
