Thx.

So, while "" is not None (i.e., "" is not False), it does test as a Boolean expression as 'False' so the test for None or "" is the same as testing for "" (but not the same as testing for None).

I accept your logic - and shall make the change in the test in Lib/test/support/__init__.py rather than in the assignment in  Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py
