Is there anyway to modify stat information like mtime or ctime manually in Python or any language at all?

Question

I am trying the following code:

os.stat(path_name)[stat.ST_CTIME] = ctime

However, this gives the following error:

exceptio         


        

Answer 1

GNU stroke implements the change-system-time trick to change ctime of a file. If that's what you want, GNU stroke does it for you: http://stroke.sourceforge.net/.
