I'm making some progress with Mark Hammonds Win32 book, but on pp =
311-312 there are listings that look like they would help in doing basic =
file/directory file mod time feedback, but I get this error.=20
I actually understand the code up to the point of the 'decode_stat' part =
which Python gripes about anyway. I assume that there's a function or =
module that it refers to that I don't have?
>>> os.stat('C:\Updates')
(16895, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 973065600, 973117026, 973117024)
I get this far just fine...roll your own path, use os.stat on it and get =
the items back calculated since epoch.
Now I write the function listed in the book, I just call my function =
'fileinfo' instead of 'getfileinfo', which I hope is no grevous crime. I =
also didn't put in the code pertaining to file size or access, since my =
mission is geared to when last changes were made. (it should be simpler, =
right?)
>>> import os, time, stat
>>> def fileinfo(filename):
... modified =3D stats[stat.ST_MTIME]
... print 'last modified :' + time.ctime(modified)
... =20
>>> decode_stat.fileinfo('C:\Updates')
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
NameError: There is no variable named 'decode_stat'
It blows up here. I don't understand where 'decode_stat' came from and =
apparantly neither does Python.=20
Any ideas? (this could be 'operator error' related)
Once I get this figured out, I can go on to working with 'walk'..which =
may generate as many questions..;)
Thanks in advance,
Larry Kuhn
