If in doubt, always check the code:

        if not filename and not string:
            filename = req.filename

You aren't really specifying it, as None is the default value
and special significance, in this evaluating to false.

But then, specifying an empty string will not help either as
that evaluates false as well. You would need:

  PSP(req, string=" ")

Ie., string consisting of 1 space.
