Bills.py on ids s1696-113 and sjres10-113 has TypeError Exception

[joec58]

Lines 159 and 160 in bills.py have an error.
'by_request': bill_dict['sponsors']['item'][0]['byRequestType'] is not None, results in TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__' when bill_dict['sponsors'] = None. Not correctly handling bill_dict['sponsors'] = None will also cause line 160 to exception.

The corrected lines would be
[line 159:] 'by_request': bill_dict['sponsors']['item'][0]['byRequestType'] if bill_dict['sponsors'] else None,
and
[line 160:] 'sponsor': bill_info.sponsor_for(bill_dict['sponsors']['item'][0]) if bill_dict['sponsors'] else None,.

These are the same form as used in line 179.

I think this may be due to GPO publishing invalid files for a little while: usgpo/bill-status#134

I think the data files are updated now though, since I'm not seeing this problem.

My suggested correction for line 159 would not work because by_request requires a boolean value. I changed the code I use to ...
[line 159:] 'by_request': bill_dict['sponsors'] and (bill_dict['sponsors']['item'][0]['byRequestType'] is not None),

This is fixed now.
