Python Program - Get File Creation and Modification Date

here's a Python program that gets the creation and modification dates of a file:

import os
import datetime

filename = input("Enter the filename: ")

# get the file stats
stats = os.stat(filename)

# convert the timestamp to a readable date format
creation_time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(stats.st_ctime).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
modification_time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(stats.st_mtime).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

print("File created on:", creation_time)
print("File last modified on:", modification_time)

In this program, we first use the input() function to get the name of the file from the user, and store it in the variable filename.

We then use the os.stat() function to get the file stats, which includes the creation and modification times.

Next, we convert the timestamp of the creation and modification times to a human-readable date format using the datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() function, and store the formatted dates in the variables creation_time and modification_time.

Finally, we print out the creation and modification dates of the file using the print() function.
