How to get the creation and modification time of a file

Time representation

The common time representation format is:

Time stamp

Formatted Time string

timestamp (timestamp) Also known as Unix time or POSIX time; it is a time representation that represents The number of milliseconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 0:00:00 GMT, and its value is of type float. However, the related methods of some programming languages ​​return the number of seconds (this is the case with Python). This requires reading the documentation of the method. It should be noted that the timestamp is a difference value, and its value has nothing to do with the time zone.

Case practice:

#endcoding: utf-8

# 获取文件的时间属性
# 用到的知识
#   os.getcwd() 方法用于返回当前工作目录
#   os.path.getatime(file) 输出文件访问时间
#   os.path.getctime(file) 输出文件的创建时间
#   os.path.getmtime(file) 输出文件最近修改时间
import time 
import os
def fileTime(file):
    return [
        time.ctime(os.path.getatime(file)),
        time.ctime(os.path.getmtime(file)),
        time.ctime(os.path.getctime(file))
    ]
times = fileTime(os.getcwd())
print(times)
print(type(times))
