The method stat_float_times() determines whether stat_result represents time stamps as float objects.
newvalue -- If newvalue is True, future calls to stat() return floats, if it is False, future call on stat returns ints. If newvalue is not mentioned, it returns the current settings.
os.stat_float_times([newvalue])
#!/usr/bin/python import os, sys # Stat information statinfo = os.stat('a2.py') print statinfo statinfo = os.stat_float_times() print statinfo
When we run above program, it produces following result:
posix.stat_result(st_mode=33188, st_ino=3940649674337682L, st_dev=277923425L, st_nlink=1, st_uid=400, st_gid=401, st_size=335L, st_atime=1330498089, st_mtime=13 30498089, st_ctime=1330498089) True
