Newbie! I'm a newbie! What's wrong with this program?

Your function does the conversion and then _prints_ the result.  It
doesn't return anything.

Here you're trying to print the return value of minHour, which since you
didn't return anything, defaults to None.  Fix it by making that last
line of minHour

	return hour

instead of

	print hour

Note that Python does not require an end of line discriminator, so all
these semicolons are redundant (you seem to know this since since you
don't use them in some places, but use them in others).  (Also,
"newLine()" really is a curious abbreviation for "print" :-).
