Last Modified File in Python?

Question

So I'm trying to write a script that allows me import the most recently modified file from a directory. I've looked at the glob and os.listdir commands but they don't seem to do it (I get errors). Any thoughts?

import os
import glob
newest = max(glob.iglob('Directory Name'), key=os.path.getctime)
print newest
f = open(newest,'r')

I get an error:

max() arg is an empty sequence

Would something like os.stat work better?

尝试：

newest = max(glob.iglob('Directory Name/*'), key=os.path.getctime)
