Python os.stat_float_times() Method

Hello dear readers! Welcome back to another section of our tutorial on Python. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the Os stat_float_times() method.

The Python os stat_float_times() method determines whether the stat_result is representing the time stamp as float objects.

Syntax

The following below is the syntax for Python Os stat_float_times() method -

os.stat_float_times( [newvalue] )

RECOMMENDED POST: Python os.listdir() Method

Parameter Details

• newvalue - If newvalue is True, then future calls to stat() returns floats, if it is False, future calls on stat returns ints. If newvalue is not mentioned, it returns the current settings.

Return Value

It returns either True or False.

Example

The following below is a simple example -

#!/usr/bin/python

import os, sys

# Stat information
statinfo = os.stat('a2.py')

print statinfo
statinfo = os.stat_float_times()
print statinfo

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the 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
