I had a similar problem, my problem was that in my source data (csv
file) sometimes the last cell was left out, so i ended up doing a try to
check if the row existed, if not i appended to the row.

Something like:

try:
    row[11]
except IndexError:
    row.append("")

If you want to insert a value into empty cells you can do something like
this:

if row[10] == ''
    row[10] = 'NULL'
