if what I see matches your code, no it is not.  I played with it some, and you
have other issues as well.

but you just opened 'file' as a file object and now you are using
it as an entry from list (again).  You have two 'for foo in filelist' loops
here.  You really need to read this line by line an make sure you have what you
want.  Feel free to mail me personally and we can solve your issues once you
think the logic out a little more.
