Please read the rest of the thread in particular the message 3 hours ago
from Gary Herron
import datetime, os, stat
mtime = os.lstat(filename)[stat.ST_MTIME] // the files
modification time
dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(mtime)
Now you can compare two datetimes simply by
if dt1 < dt2:
Or you can subtract them, and examine the difference.
What's the need for all that string conversion stuff?
