Sort files by date

[fargo]

Hi.

I'm looking for some way to sort files by date.

I'm usin glob module to list a directiry, but files are sorted by name.

 >>> import glob
 >>> path = "./"
 >>> for ScannedFile in glob.glob(path):
... print ScannedFile

I googled my problem, but did not find any solution, neither in this 
newsgroup.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

MD5 problem

[fargo]

Hi.

I'm in trouble with the md5 module.

Under Linux, it's ok, I get real signatures.

The problem is under Windows XP, with some kind of files.

If I use the md5 module with .txt files, it'ok.

The Problem comes from the .msg files. I get the same signature for 
every .msg file I try to hash with the md5 algorithm. I think some 
character are strange for python, and makes it stop before the end of 
the .msg file.

So, my question is : Do anybody have a solution to this problem ? (I can 
post my source code if needed)

Thank you.

try this :

sql += 'WHERE name LIKE %%%s%%'  %  searchterm
