Title: Python system modules

Objectives:

• To understand Python modules os and time.

Problem Statement:

Write a Python program to get a directory listing, sorted by creation date.

Outcomes:

On completion of this assignment students will be able to-

• Understand the Python modules os and time

Software & Hardware requirements:

•Open Source Python Programming


tools like Jupyter Notebook.
Theory- Concept:

Python OS Module Functions


Here we will discuss some important functions of the Python os module:
 Handling the Current Working Directory
 Creating a Directory
 Listing out Files and Directories with Python
 Deleting Directory or Files using Python

Example: This code uses the ‘os' module to get and print the current working directory (CWD) of the
Python script. It retrieves the CWD using the ‘os.getcwd()' and then prints it to the console.
import os
cwd = os.getcwd()
print("Current working directory:", cwd)

Importing time module


The time module comes with Python’s standard utility module, so there is no need to install it externally. We
can simply import it using the import statement.
import time

import time
print(time.gmtime(0))

Program Codes with output:


# Import the required modules: 'os' for operating system interactions and 'time' for time-related functions.
import os
import time
# Create a list 'paths' by iterating through files in the current directory and formatting their creation time and
file name.
# The list comprehension generates tuples with the creation time and file name for each file.

paths = ["%s %s" % (time.ctime(t), f) for t, f in sorted([(os.path.getctime(x), x) for x in os.listdir(".")])]

# Print a header for the directory listing.


print("Directory listing, sorted by creation date:")

# Iterate through the list 'paths' and print each entry.


for x in range(len(paths)):
print(paths[x],)

Output:
Directory listing, sorted by creation date:
