Time in python

    import os
    atime, mtime, ctime = os.stat('python.txt')[-3:]

The last three items returned by os.stat are:
 atime = most recent access
 mtime = most recent modification
 ctime = most recent content/metadata change

The times are in seconds from the epoch.  To convert to human readable
form, use the time module:

    import time
    time.asctime(time.localtime(mtime))


Also, see os.fstat (for files that are opened).
