how to filter files by creation date

[awel]

Hello All,

I am trying to to make a script to move all the files that has been
created at today's to another folder but my problem is the date format
that I receive from the 'os.stat [stat.ST_CTIME]' is different from
the one that I receive from the 'datetime.date.today()'.

Does someone could help me?
Here is my script:

import os, stat, time, datetime
a= "c:\\"
filesys = os.listdir(a)
today= datetime.date.today()
def get_create_time(a):
int_time = os.stat("c:\\")[stat.ST_CTIME]
str_time = time.ctime(int_time)
return str_time
#print filesys
for file in filesys:
create_time = get_create_time(a)
print file, create_time[-4:]
# print today

Thanks
Awel

Build a `datetime.date` object from the timestamp you get from the stat
call:

In [438]: !touch test.py

In [439]: datetime.date.fromtimestamp(os.stat('/home/bj/test.py').st_ctime)
Out[439]: datetime.date(2007, 11, 6)

In [28]: import time

In [29]: time.time()
Out[29]: 1194338141.5951259

Could you explain a little more because I am new in scripting?
Thanks

Not really. I showed you the call I made and the result I got. How can I
be more clear and precise!?

Ok but I run in Windows and I cannot understand your '!touch test.py'

Ah, sorry this was just to create and/or make sure that the file exists
and has today's date.
