sort() on a sequence does not return anything. It operates on the [mutable] sequence in place. You probably want to push this bit into a python script where you have more elbow room, and do this: files.sort(etc,etc) return files[0] hth, Jim

I may be asking this in the wrong place but I have a tal page where I want to use python to display only the most recent addition to a folder of files.
I can sort the folder and return all the files easily with: return sequence.sort(files, (('bobobase_modification_time', 'cmp', 'desc'),))
How do I return just the most recent one? (I tried sorting and then using return max(files) but that doesn't give me all the properties and I need them for display)
