You just have to dig a little in the docs:

datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp[, tz])
    Return the local date and time corresponding to the POSIX timestamp, such 
as is returned by time.time().

time.time()
    Return the time as a floating point number expressed in seconds since the 
epoch, in UTC.

os.path.getmtime(path)
    Return the time of last modification of path. The return value is a number 
giving the number of seconds since the epoch (see the time module).
