would this python one-liner be an option for you?
import random, glob

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.
Thanks cgc

i bet, that's the way of pd's gui to display the string ...past\5.4.... any that you can directly use this symbol to open the file ... btw, i guess that os.path.join("E:", "pd_merge", "past", "*.mov") would be the prefered way to concatenate path names ...

It does work. Thanks.

I'll need to dig into the file handling capabilities of python now since I need to move and delete files as well.
