Convert string to path using Python 2.7

[DeaD_EyE]

Chain comparison operators and don't compare if datetimes are equal.

import datetime
import os


def iterdirs(root, min_days_age=0, max_days_age=1):
    now = datetime.datetime.now()

    # not newer than end_date
    end_date = now - datetime.timedelta(days=min_days_age)

    # not older than start_date
    start_date = now - datetime.timedelta(days=max_days_age)

    for path in os.listdir(root):
        if not os.path.isdir(path):
            # if path is not a directory, skip it
            # processing only directories
            continue

        mtime = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(path))
        
        # chaining comparison operators:

        if start_date <= mtime <= end_date:
            yield path
