No. Of course I could use some installed tool, like ls, but I
want a portable solution.

Not really. Windows is only a niche for desktop systems. In my
case the python script is running on a heterogenous grid
monitoring system accessing a _large_ distributed Oracle9i DB -
a query can take up to half a minute, so obviously I'm caching
the results of previous queries in the mentioned files, where
the modification time is the sorting criterium for later
reading.
