Timestamp of file changes if a share mapped to a server….

[tester_V]

This is a great conversation, I read tons of docs and started understanding (kind of) some of the "date times" I'm working with. I think for now I should just stick with the snippet shared by the All Great and all Powerful deanhystad

from datetime import datetime, date, time, timedelta
from pytz import timezone
from pathlib import Path
 
# Get start and end of day in Seattle
start_time = datetime.combine(date.today(), time(), tzinfo=timezone("US/Pacific"))
end_time = start_time + timedelta(hours=24)
print(start_time, end_time)
 
# Convert to timestamps.
start_time = start_time.timestamp()
end_time = end_time.timestamp()
print(start_time, end_time)
 
# Print all files that were modified today.
folder = Path(__file__).parent  # Scan folder that contains this file.
for file in folder.iterdir():
    mtime = file.stat().st_mtime
    if start_time <= mtime < end_time:
        print(file.name, mtime, datetime.fromtimestamp(mtime)) 

I understand that the range of "datetimes" for the files to download from Asia is set by the "start_time" and "end_time"
both "times" are in UTC and localized for the Pacific NW.
if it is true that all timestamps are UTC then the following should filter the files I'm looking for:

for file in folder.iterdir():
    mtime = file.stat().st_mtime
    if start_time <= mtime < end_time:

but it seems I'm getting the "wrong timestamps". Then I thought OK, let's localize my "start_time" and "end_time" for the Kuala_Lumpur because it is local time for the hosts I'm trying to get the files from.

#start_time = datetime.combine(date.today(), time(), tzinfo=timezone("US/Pacific"))
start_time = datetime.combine(date.today(), time(), tzinfo=timezone("Asia/Kuala_Lumpur"))
end_time = start_time + timedelta(hours=24)
print(start_time, end_time)
 
# Convert to timestamps.
start_time = start_time.timestamp()
end_time = end_time.timestamp()
print(start_time, end_time)

It seems I'm still getting the files with "wrong" timestamps. I know that the files have the wrong timestamps because when I open them data inside is from tomorrow...

What did I do wrong?
By the way, I was thinking maybe the line below is not localized it is a UTC timestamp but not tied up to any time zone.

mtime = file.stat().st_mtime

I tried :

mtime3 = ef.stat().st_mtime(pytz.utc) 

But it produces an error:
TypeError: 'float' object is not callable

Again, I really appreciate you guys looking into it!
Thank you!
