Thanks - turns out the real error was in the file dealing with it - all
fixed now.

Thanks for the help.

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]
