getmtime

The function getmtime() in Python is used to get the last modification time of a file. It returns the time of last modification of the file in seconds since the epoch.

Here is an example of how to use getmtime():

import os
import time

# Get the last modification time of a file
file_path = 'example.txt'
modification_time = os.path.getmtime(file_path)

# Convert the modification time to a readable format
readable_time = time.ctime(modification_time)

print(f"The last modification time of the file is: {readable_time}")

In this example, the getmtime() function is used to get the last modification time of the file 'example.txt'. The modification time is then converted to a readable format using the time.ctime() function and printed to the console.
