Recursively or non-recursively? Live monitoring or just one-time? What was the forum post in question? In the simple case, you just need to stitch together these functions: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.stat (note the .st_mtime attribute of the result) http://docs.python.org/library/os.path.html#os.path.join with one of these functions: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.listdir http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.walk Cheers, Chris
