As for the open issues, if we can't reach some sane compromise about atime/ctime/mtime, I'd suggest just providing the stat() method and let people use stat().st_mtime et al. Alternately, I'd be okay with creating last_modified(), last_accessed(), and created_on() methods that return datetime objects, as long as there's also atime()/mtime()/ctime() methods that return timestamps.
+1 for atime/mtime/ctime being timestamps -1 for redundant duplicates that return DateTimes +1 for a stat() method (there is lots of other goodies in a stat). -- Donovan Baarda <abo@minkirri.apana.org.au>
