in newcron.py line 242 the code allows an empty string to be added to
the lines array, that parsecronline() returns None for.
perhaps line 242 should be changed from:
lines = [x.strip() for x in cronlines if not
x.strip().startswith('#')]
to something like:
lines = [x.strip() for x in cronlines if not x.strip().startswith('#')
and not x.strip() == '']
