It is probably worth noting that the example is not executable code:
str() is a function.

In java,I do this:
if (str != null) && (!str.equals("")) ....
how can i do that in python?
If you want to litterally do that, it's
if (str != None) and (str != ""):
<whatever>
However, the standard idiom for doing that in Python is
if str:
<whatever>
