For traversing the subdirectories, use os.walk().
For getting modification date, use os.stat()
The modification time will be a timestamp counting seconds from epoch, there are various methods in the time module that help you convert those to something easier to use.
Comments
import os
import time
for root, dirs, files in os.walk('your_root_directory'):
for f in files:
modification_time_seconds = os.stat(os.path.join(root, f)).st_mtime
local_mod_time = time.localtime(modification_time_seconds)
print '%s %s.%s.%s %s' % (f, local_mod_time.tm_mon, local_mod_time.tm_mday, local_mod_time.tm_year, root)
