This seems to work
pdf_timeStamp =
time.strftime("%m%d%y%H%M%S",time.localtime(os.path.getmtime(pdf)))
intermediateTime = time.strptime(pdf_timeStamp, "%m%d%y%H%M%S")
pdfFile_compareTime = time.mktime(intermediateTime)
(and I'll do the same to the user entered date-n-time and then compare)
Lastly, so can anyone chime in and tell me if this is a good method or not? Is
there a better way?
Please read the rest of the thread in particular the message 3 hours ago
from Gary Herron
import datetime, os, stat
mtime = os.lstat(filename)[stat.ST_MTIME] // the files
modification time
dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(mtime)
Now you can compare two datetimes simply by
if dt1 < dt2:
Or you can subtract them, and examine the difference.
What's the need for all that string conversion stuff?

Incidentally, the best order for dates is year (4 digits - remember
Y2K? :-)) then month then day.
