Combine two columns into one

Question

I want to create a script that will combine two columns into one.
Unfortunately, I have a problem with the??? "None" value.
I don't know how to verify the other value from  2 column.
I have something like this:

cursor = gp.UpdateCursor("FC")
row = cursor.Next()
while row:
      if ( row.field == None):
       pass
      else:
       row.fieldoutput = row.field + row.field2
       cursor.UpdateRow(row)
      row = cursor.Next()

What should I do?

Try this:row.fieldoutput=(row.field or '')+(row.field2 or '')

Below is the code I would use to achieve this:

cursor=arcpy.UpdateCursor("FC")
for row in cursor:
[indent]if row.field:[/indent]
[indent][indent]row.fieldoutput=row.field+row.field2
cursor.UpdateRow(row)[/INDENT][/indent]
