Asked By – y2k

The API I’m working with can return empty [] lists.

The following conditional statements aren’t working as expected:

if myList is not None: #not working
    pass

if myList is not []: #not working
    pass

What will work?

Now we will see solution for issue: How to check if a list is empty in Python? [duplicate]

  print "Nothing here"
