简单的:

def touch(fname):
    open(fname, 'a').close()
    os.utime(fname, None)

打开确保那里有一个文件 utime确保时间戳被更新

从理论上讲，可能有人会在打开文件后删除该文件，导致utime引发异常。但可以说这没什么，因为坏事确实发生了。

复杂(可能有bug):

def utime(fname, atime=None, mtime=None)
    if type(atime) is tuple:
        atime, mtime = atime

    if atime is None or mtime is None:
        statinfo = os.stat(fname)
        if atime is None:
            atime = statinfo.st_atime
        if mtime is None:
            mtime = statinfo.st_mtime

    os.utime(fname, (atime, mtime))


def touch(fname, atime=None, mtime=None):
    if type(atime) is tuple:
        atime, mtime = atime

    open(fname, 'a').close()
    utime(fname, atime, mtime)

这也尝试允许设置访问或修改时间，就像GNU touch。

你为什么不试试: newfile.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
inputfile = sys.argv[1]

with open(inputfile, 'r+') as file:
    pass

Python newfile.py foobar.txt

or

使用子流程:

import subprocess
subprocess.call(["touch", "barfoo.txt"])

下面是一些使用ctypes的代码(仅在Linux上测试):

from ctypes import *
libc = CDLL("libc.so.6")

#  struct timespec {
#             time_t tv_sec;        /* seconds */
#             long   tv_nsec;       /* nanoseconds */
#         };
# int futimens(int fd, const struct timespec times[2]);

class c_timespec(Structure):
    _fields_ = [('tv_sec', c_long), ('tv_nsec', c_long)]

class c_utimbuf(Structure):
    _fields_ = [('atime', c_timespec), ('mtime', c_timespec)]

utimens = CFUNCTYPE(c_int, c_char_p, POINTER(c_utimbuf))
futimens = CFUNCTYPE(c_int, c_char_p, POINTER(c_utimbuf)) 

# from /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/bits/stat.h
UTIME_NOW  = ((1l << 30) - 1l)
UTIME_OMIT = ((1l << 30) - 2l)
now  = c_timespec(0,UTIME_NOW)
omit = c_timespec(0,UTIME_OMIT)

# wrappers
def update_atime(fileno):
        assert(isinstance(fileno, int))
        libc.futimens(fileno, byref(c_utimbuf(now, omit)))
def update_mtime(fileno):
        assert(isinstance(fileno, int))
        libc.futimens(fileno, byref(c_utimbuf(omit, now)))

# usage example:
#
# f = open("/tmp/test")
# update_mtime(f.fileno())

还有一个用于触摸的python模块

>>> from touch import touch
>>> touch(file_name)

你可以用pip install touch安装它

def touch(fname):
    if os.path.exists(fname):
        os.utime(fname, None)
    else:
        open(fname, 'a').close()
