I think you're missing a pair a braces:
Without them, your code will execute the else clause only if the last last field tested is an empty string and, if the 1st if test does not find any empty strings, the remaining if tests will never succeed either:
And, of course, if do_something; is more than one statement, you'll also needed braces around all statements in the else clause. The braces around your print statements don't hurt anything, but aren't strictly required since only one statement is being executed in those if then clauses.
