How Can I Convert Os. Path. Getctime()?

I assume that by right time you mean converting timestamp to something with more meaning to humans. If that is the case then this should work:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.fromtimestamp(1382189138.4196026).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
'2013-10-19 16:25:38'

You can also use ctime function from the time module.

import os
import time

c_time = os.path.getctime(r'C:\test.txt')
print(c_time)
print(time.ctime(c_time))

Output:

1598597900.008945
Fri Aug 28 09:58:20 2020

I was looking for the same problem, and resolv indirectly it with the help of answers. So a solution :

import os
import time
import datetime

# FILE_IN a file...

file_date = time.ctime(os.path.getmtime(FILE_IN))
file_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(file_date, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y")
print("Last modif: %s" % file_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))

With this solution : a date object with the good value, an example of conversion to see it (with the good string format to insert in a mysql database).

From the documentation

The return value is a number giving the number of seconds since the epoch (see the time module)

And in the time module we see localtime()

Use the following functions to convert between time representations:

...

| seconds since the epoch | struct_time in local time | localtime() |

And from there use strftime() to get the format you want

>>> from datetime import date
>>> date.fromtimestamp(path.getatime("/Users"))
    datetime.date(2015, 3, 10)
