Get age of a file/dir

I've been looking around the OS module and I haven't found anything 
useful yet.  Does anyone know how to get the age of a file or directory 
in days?  I'm using unix and don't seem to find anything that will help 
me.  The only function that comes close so far is

os.path.getctime(path)


However this only gets creation time on Windows, on Unix it gets the the 
time of the last change.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
