Thanks Adam, but 2 notes:

1. Under cygwin it returns an empty tuple...
   Under *nix, I don't know yet
   Under win it's ok, I get back ST_MTIME (but it doesn't matter I was just curious)
2. I'm a lazy coder, so my solution is something similar like this:
   stat1=os.stat(<path_changed>)
   filetime1=max(tmp_stat[ST_MTIME],tmp_stat[ST_CTIME])
   stat2=os.stat(<path_cache>)
   filetime2=max(tmp_stat[ST_MTIME],tmp_stat[ST_CTIME])
   and compare these times.

But - thank goodness - the maintainer of skunkWeb is not me, so... :)

thx.toma
