Python Program to Get File Creation and Modification Date

 

Example 1: Using os module

import os.path, time

file = pathlib.Path('abc.py')

print("Last modification time: %s" % time.ctime(os.path.getmtime(file)))

print("Last metadata change time or path creation time: %s" % time.ctime(os.path.getctime(file)))

Example 2: Using stat() method

import datetime

import pathlib

fname = pathlib.Path('abc.py')

print("Last modification time: %s" % datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(fname.stat().st_mtime))

print("Last metadata change time or path creation time: %s" % datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(fname.stat().st_ctime))
