       What properties do files have?
       How do you access the most recent modification time of a file using a Python Script?
       (You've explained earlier how to do it with dtml using bobobase_modification_time, but for some reason the
       following doesn't work with python:
       return context.file.boboso_modification_time

       try this:
       return context.file.bobobase_modification_time()

       bobobase_modification_time() is a method, not a data attribute.
       It should be clearly described here somewhere, but AFAICT it is not.

           Returns the size in bytes (getSize() is deprecated)

       Python properties:

         * data

           Access to the underlying binary data

       I am wondering how to del a file. I can only find addFile method in this API.
