The one is a empty string str(''), its bool('') value is False.

| >>> type(''), bool('')
| (<class 'str'>, False)

The other is a NoneType, its bool(None) value is False.

| >>> type(None), bool(None)
| (<class 'NoneType'>, False)

None often used like NULL (pointer). E.g if a function does not give an explicit 
return value, the returned value is None.

| >>> def foo():
| ...     pass
| ...
| >>> print(foo())
| None
