GetFileAttributesExW returns values directly from the file system, and NTFS happens to store its timestamps in UTC. os.path.getmtime adjusts to local time. FAT file systems record timestamps in local time, which causes the reported times to change during summer time. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
