In your documentation, it is written :
      "
      os.path.getatime(path)
	Return the time of last access of path. The return value is a number giving the number of seconds since the epoch (see the time <module-time.html> module). Raise os.error if the file does not exist or is inaccessible. New in version 1.5.2. Changed in version 2.3: If os.stat_float_times() returns True, the result is a floating point number. 
	"

what do you mean by "access" ?  this function gives same outputs with the " os.path.getmtime(path) "  
What can change an acess time of a path different from modification?
Is there any mistakes in the implementation or am i missing some points?
