Folder modification time including the files inside it?

currently what I do is:

import os

dir = '/var/www/site1.com'
modTime = os.path.getmtime(dir)

But the modification time is not as recent as the modification time of the most recent file modified inside that folder. Is there a way to get the mtime of that directory/folder with respect to the files/folder inside it?

Not without looking at the mtime value for each and every file in that folder.

You can use max() on the getmtime value for each entry in the folder:

modTime = max([os.path.getmtime(os.path.join(dir, p)) for p in os.listdir(dir)])
