python os.path.getmtime code example

Example 1: python join paths

import os

# Join paths using OS import. Takes any amount of arguments
path = os.path.join('/var/www/public_html', './app/', ".\\my_file.json")

print(path) # /var/www/public_html/app/myfile.json

Example 2: time.ctime(os.path.getmtime phyton in datetime

x = time.strftime("%d.%m.%Y", time.gmtime(os.path.getmtime("{}".format("file.txt"))))

# getctime can be used instead of getmtime
# getctime = file creation date
# getmtime = last modified file date

#"file.txt" can also be a filepath if it is in a different directory

# time.strftime("%d.%m.%Y")
# changes the output date from time.gmtime(...) in a more readable form.
# %d = day , %m = month, %y = year 
# . in in my case the seperator but it can be anything, like /
