How to get file modification time fo all files in directory ?

Answer 1

If you only want the modified time, then os.path.getmtime(filename) will get it for you. If you are using listdir with an argument, you'll need to also use os.path.join:

import os, os.path

for filename in os.listdir(SOME_DIR):
    print os.path.getmtime(os.path.join(SOME_DIR, filename))
