[python-win32] Comparing dbase date value with os.path.getmtime(filename)

[Jim.Vickroy@noaa.gov]

You may wish to take a look at the time module (specifically) 
time.gmtime(...) or time.localtime(...)) to work with the return value 
from getmtime(...).

Can't really help much with the return value from the database since I 
don't know what type of object it is.  If you are using Python 2.3 or 
later you may wish to look at the datetime module (specifically 
datetime.datetime).
