make 100% compatible with swift.py? Make Env vars compatible with st? Get and put the metadata in the libray (x-object-meta-mtime) when getting and putting a file? st is setting this 'x-object-meta-mtime' getmtime(filename) Return the last modification time of a file, reported by os.stat(). >>> f = os.path.getmtime("z") 1347717491.343554 >>> print f 1347717491.34 >>> str(f) '1347717491.34' >>> "%d" % f '1347717491' >>> swift.py appears to be doing it wrong with str(float) which isn't a good way of stringifying floats... Make This also puts meta-mtime https://github.com/gholt/swiftly As an integer, but it does parse it as a float subargs.append('x-object-meta-mtime:%d' % getmtime(options.input_))
