How to acquire an imported file creation time

[Larz60+]

The following will return dates on files.
Need to pass full pathlib filename (or just filename if in same directory as script)

import time
import datetime
from pathlib import Path
import os


def get_file_dates(filename):
    last_mod_time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(filename.stat().st_mtime)
    create_date = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(filename.stat().st_ctime)
    return last_mod_time, create_date


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Set current directory = script directory (not necessary if full path used).
    os.chdir(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

    filename = Path("newin.xlsx")
    moddate, createdate = get_file_dates(filename)

    print(f"File {filename} was created on {createdate}, and modified on {moddate}")

example:
python CheckFileDates.py

Output:
File newin.xlsx was created on 2021-09-07 10:44:36.218143, and modified on 2021-09-07 10:44:36.218143
