<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Hi,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I am using
python 2.5 on sun solaris.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I want to
limit the number of files returned by os.listdir() to some number (say 1000),
how can I do it ?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Also I wan
to list the files only if they are older than some x days, how can I do it?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I can do
this through shell script using command.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">find ${ DIR_PATH}
-mtime +`expr ${PERIOD} - 1` -type f -exec ls <span style=""> </span>-l {} \;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I want to
have similar functionality like above through python. I don't want to list the
whole files in directory and go to each file for checking it's modification
time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I am
thankful for any pointer.</span></p>
