How do i set the file creation date?

[gavin9822623]

I need to set a file creation date to "2005/01/01 13:00:00 PM". The date format is (YYYY/MM/DD).

Any help or example will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Gavin

Module os has numerous functions for manipulating directories and files. In this example, I will set a file's access and modified time:

import os
import time
fn = "test.txt"
os.utime(fn, (time.time(), 1038848567))

>>> import time
>>> time.time()
1269625312.171
>>> time.ctime(1038848567)
'Mon Dec 02 11:02:47 2002'
>>>

Check out time.strptime() for your date format.
