*DANGER* It looks like you are interested in the timestamps that are
embedded in the names of the files. Tim's code assumes [reasonably
given that your problem description was ambiguous and had no examples
of good and bad results] that you are interested in the last
modification time of the file. You may say "same thing". Yes, same
thing, until somebody sucks a file into a text editor, messes with it,
and saves it again. No, Murphy's Law has not been repealed.

In the Library Reference Manual ... there are all sorts of goodies in
the os and os.path modules e.g. like those used by Tim; make sure you
read the docs on the methods Tim used so that you understand what's
happening.
HTH,
