It seems like a weird error to be spitting out considering that it's just a small typo that is throwing it... but I guess that's coding for you.
The return in your except clause is returning none with a lower case 'n' when it should be None with an uppercase 'N'
Just fix that up and you're good to go.
EDITED: Was using 'true/True' instead of 'none/None' in my reply. That was my misreading. Sorry
