Getting Correct Creation Time

[JohnVogel]

Main thing for me, does the os.path.getctime() value agree with dir /t:c?

Here's what I get when I run dir /t:c:


Here's what I see in explorer:


The dates in Explorer are the actual creation dates; The date and time the photo was taken (which is what I want).

So I've realized that I have 2 problems...

Please understand that I'm reeeeaally new to Python and programming in general. I'm probably setting this up wrong.

1) When I use datetime.fromtimestamp(), I get an error that I haven't loaded it yet. So, I guess my question is... where do I import that from?

right now these are what I'm importing:
import os, datetime
from pathlib import Path
from time import ctime

2) When I use os.path.getctime("IMG_7001.JPG), or str(datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getctime("IMG_7001.JPG"))) It returns a "FileNotFound" error.

I think the issue is that I'm not setting up the "where" correctly. Meaning the path the files are located. I was gonna post what I have, but it's getting tangled (I'm throwing code at it to see what sticks) and I think I need to go back to some tutorials and start over.
