that means that the python path is messed up, so Python cannot
find it's support libraries (usually found under c:/python24/Lib).

I have no idea what "Python for Delphi 3.16" is, so things may be
different for that distribution (if that's what it is).

adding

    import sys
    print sys.path

and comparing that to the actual file structure may help you figure
out what's going on.

fwiw, that's usually spelled os.path.getmtime in contemporary python.

if you cannot import os, you can use

    mtime = nt.stat("q.py")[8]

but it's probably better to fix the path issue; Python doesn't work well
without the support library.
