How to get the list of perforce depots that have no changelist?

Is it possible to get the list of depots (name of the depot) that have no changelist created along with their creation date.

Run p4 changes against each depot, and print the name/time of each that has no results.

Here's a quick example using P4Python:

from datetime import datetime
from P4 import P4

with P4().connect() as p4:
    for d in p4.run_depots():
        depot = d['name']
        if not p4.run_changes("-m1", f"//{depot}/..."):
            print(depot, datetime.fromtimestamp(int(d['time'])))

When I run this script against my own local server it lists all the depots I've made that don't have any changelists in them:

Sprocket 2019-07-25 00:02:31
Widget 2019-07-24 23:45:04
repo 2020-04-28 09:53:13
spec 2022-02-08 08:23:23

compared to the full list of depots from p4 depots:

Depot Sprocket 2019/07/25 stream 1 Sprocket/... 'Created by Samwise. '
Depot Widget 2019/07/24 stream 1 Widget/... 'Created by Samwise. '
Depot collaborators 2020/07/12 stream 1 collaborators/... 'Created by Samwise. '
Depot depot 2019/09/22 local depot/... 'Created by Samwise. '
Depot repo 2020/04/28 local repo/... 'Created by Samwise. '
Depot spec 2022/02/08 spec .p4s spec/... 'Created by Samwise. '
Depot stream 2017/11/02 stream stream/... ''

Note that the time on the depot is the modification time; the depot spec doesn't maintain the original creation time. However, it's likely that if no changelists have ever been submitted into a depot, the depot spec itself hasn't been modified since its creation either.
