I think I came across another bug in win32api.  The time in file
attibutes got from FindFile is wrong. In order to get the right last
time of file modified, I have to do like,
 time.localtime(int(file_object[3])-time.altzone).
According to MS doc, this bug may be fixed by changing the code in
Pytime.cpp,starting at line 612:

PYWINTYPES_EXPORT PyObject *PyWinObject_FromFILETIME(const FILETIME &t)
{
	SYSTEMTIME st, lt;
	if (!FileTimeToLocalFileTime(&t, &lt) ||
              !FileTimeToSystemTime(&lt, &st))
	//if (!FileTimeToSystemTime(&t, &st))
		return PyInt_FromLong(-1);
	return PyFloat_FromDouble(PyCE_SystemTimeToCTime(&st));
}
