Well, there's always the old fashioned way (which early versions of touch used). Read the first byte of the file, rewind, write the byte back out, seek to the end (to preserve the file length), and close the file. I'm not sure what to do for directories (I guess you could create and delete a temp file). Of course, if you told me that doesn't work on Windows either, I wouldn't be too surprised. :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
