使用 python 检查文件夹中所有最后修改的文件的程序？

Question

import glob
import os
import time
Path = 'Aabmatica/*'#Folder path
list_of_files = glob.glob(Path) # * Name of the folder in which all files exist
latest_file = max(list_of_files, key=os.path.getmtime)
print()
print("last modified/added file is:",end=" ")
print(latest_file)
print()
modification_time = os.path.getmtime(latest_file)
local_time = time.ctime(modification_time)
print("modified time: ",local_time)

2. I made a python program which gives me name of last modified file in a folder:-

3. This program is running well but the problem is that if I place new file or if I am editing any file in a folder than it is giving me correct output but if I am copying any file into the folder than I am not getting any output.

4. And how can I show all the last modified files from folder using this program.

5.So there is basically two problem with this program if I am copying any file into folder than I am not getting the file name and I am unable to show all the last modified files from folder.

In Windows a copy of a file probably has a new creation time. You can look at os.path.getctime() to check the creation time for the copy of the file.

If that works as expected then you could include os.path.getctime() as an additional check in the key to max() .

def latest_change(filename):
    return max(os.path.getmtime(filename), os.path.getctime(filename))

latest_file = max(list_of_files, key=latest_change)

The key function just grabs whichever of the modification or creation time is greatest, and then uses that greatest time as the key.
