Join string and None/string using optional delimiter

Question

I am basically looking for the Python equivalent to this VB/VBA string operation:

FullName = LastName & ", " + FirstName 

In VB/VBA + and & are both concatenation operators, but they differ in how they handle a Null value:

"Some string" + Null ==> Null "Some string" & Null ==> "Some string" 

This hidden feature allows for the first line of code I wrote to include a comma and space between the required LastName and the optional FirstName values. If FirstName is Null (Null is the VB/VBA equiv of Python's None), FullName will be set to LastName with no trailing comma.

Is there a one-line idiomatic way to do this in Python?

Technical Note:
gnibbler's and eumiro's answers are not strictly the equivalent of VB/VBA's + and &. Using their approaches, if FirstName is an empty string ("") rather than None, there will be no trailing comma. In almost all cases this would be preferable to VB/VBA's result which would be to add the trailing comma with a blank FirstName.

Answer 1

The following line can be used to concatenate more not-None elements:

FullName = ', '.join(filter(None, (LastName, FirstName))) 

Answer 2

FullName = LastName + (", " + FirstName if FirstName else "")
