Python : Treating the key with None value as non-existant

In this scenario

>>> x = {}
>>> x.get('test') #Prints None
>>> x.get('test','') #Prints empty string
''

>>> x = {'test':None}
>>> x.get('test') #Prints None
>>> x.get('test','') #Prints None

How do I get empty string printed in both the cases by treating None valued key as non-existant ?

Wrap the get call in a function that checks if the value is None

def get_except_None(d, key):
    val = d.get(key, '')
    if val is None:
        return ''
    return val

So instead of x.get('test', '') in your code, you would do get_except_None(x, test)
