Resetting modification time

[Greg Peretti]

I'm new to Python and would appreciate being pointed in the right 
direction.

I'm trying to create a simple script that would note the modification 
time of a file, perform some changes to the file and then reset the 
modification time to the pre-change time.

The area I'm having difficulty with is the resetting the modification 
time. According to the O'Reilly book I have, using utime in this way - 
os.utime(testfile, (1124137226, 1124137227)) (those are just sample 
numbers) - would do so, but I'm generating an OSError.  Any Ideas?
