I really only want it to report when a file has been modified so this seems to work,

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import os
import time

def mod():
    """Find files modified today, given a file path."""
    latest = 0
    now = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d', time.localtime())
    dir = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[1])
    for fname in os.listdir(dir):
        if fname.endswith('.py'):
            modtime = os.stat(os.path.join(dir, fname)).st_mtime
            if modtime > latest:
                latest = modtime

Why do you modify latest to whatever the mod time of the
file is? Surely you want to always compare mod time with now?

out = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d', time.localtime(latest))
                if out == now:
                    print fname, "has changed today. "
                else:
                    pass

You don't need the else:pass bit. It does nothing.

HTH,
