how to get the "last modified " date of a file or folder?

[mahela007]

Is there a way to get the date a file or folder was last modified into python?

[Paul Thompson]

There certainly is a way!

import os

path = "path here"
seconds = os.path.getmtime(path)
print time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M', time.localtime(seconds)
#it will output the time last modified!

It also needs

import time
