>>> os.path.getmtime('x.txt') 1193160881 >>> int(win32file.GetFileAttributesExW('x.txt')[-2]) 1193153681 >>> int(win32file.GetFileAttributesExW('x.txt')[-2]) - os.path.getmtime('x.txt') -7200 (Win XP) is this a bug, or is there a issue with timezones/summer time? aren't time.time() values absolute?
