Is it possible that someone could help me with a script that will check a file and see if it's modification date is &lt;&nbsp;X days ago, and if so return true?<br />
<br />
I seem to be able to get this date about the file from os.stat, but I'm having trouble getting the current time in a suitable format for comparing.

Python script for checking file modification date

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
