我的脚本适用于 Windows，但不适用于 Linux-关于文件夹路径

Question

I wrote a script.It is getting a file modify time from a Windows Server. It is working on Windows but not on Linux. It means there is a file on Windows Server and I want to get this file's modify time from Linux. I tried backslashes, double slashes and pathlib library but not working. Here is my Linux output.

[root@server03]# python3 serveropen2.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "serveropen2.py", line 5, in <module>
    modify = dt.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(server))
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/genericpath.py", line 55, in getmtime
    return os.stat(filename).st_mtime
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\Server1\tools\folder\capture.JPG'

Here is my codes

    import os
    import datetime as dt

    server=r'\\Server1\tools\folder\capture.JPG'
    modify = dt.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(server))

    if dt.datetime.now() - modify > dt.timedelta(minutes=5):
        print("old")
    else:
        print("new")

You need to use the currect path separator. Under windows \\ is the separator, under linux / is the separator.

So instead of

\\\\Server1\\tools\\folder\\capture.JPG'

your script has to use

/Server1/tools/folder/capture.JPG'

By using os.path.join you can fix this:

import os
server = os.path.join('Server1', 'tools', 'folder', 'capture.JPG')
...

And you need to know where the file is located in your filesystem on linux. If it is located somewhere in your home-directory you can do something like:

import os

my_server_dir = os.path.join('~', 'server_home')
server = os.path.join('Server1', 'tools', 'folder', 'capture.JPG')
...
