would this python one-liner be an option for you?

I hard coded the path  so it looks like this:

import random, glob

def randy():
    return random.choice(glob.glob("E:/pd_merge/past/*.mov"))

The only problem is the output from the py object is

print: symbol E:/pd_merge/past\\\\5.4.2006.9.49.4.mov

What's up with the extra \\\\ ?  Getting this working could solve a huge headache on Windows.
