I am currently creating a script to automate the treatment of some Excel files. I am working on Excel (.xlsx) files and modifying them with the library Pandas. I need to get the creation date of one of those files so I can insert it into another file and I don't have the slightest clue on how to proceed.

I am currently using Python 3.3.5, Pandas 0.15.2 and I can't use any library not currently in Spyder (I work in a big company where we aren't allowed to update versions or to install anything not approved first and approving something takes months)

UPDATE: 2022-07-29

This is not a duplicate as it explicitly mentions the creation date of an Excel file. This info is metadata inside the Excel file and not shown in the OS file creation data.
