I tried this on Windows only: In Python 2.4 os.path.getmtime returned the local time, in Python 2.5 it seems to return GMT:
import os, time print ctime.time(os.path.getmtime(foo)) differs on Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 by the timezone. Now, the implementation of the two stat calls differs on Windows between the two versions. I actually like the new behaviour better, because I believe the reported time of a file should not depend on the timezone or other local settings, however the old behaviour is the time also Windows shows - and there is an incompatibility. Is this a bug? - Josef -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
