Note that what you are calling an array is (somewhat confusingly) called
"list" in Python. Still, it doesn't matter where you get it from if you are
actually passing the string "btl" to next_alpha() the result should be
"btm".

There seems to be missing something at the end of the function...

Change %s to %r in the above. There may be whitespace characters at the end
of the string which you can detect that way.
print "highest lid is %r" % sorted_array[0] # what does that print?

print repr(nl) # what does that print?
