When I execute ll command I get the timestamps:

-rw-rw-r--+ 1    4167 May  5 17:19 file A    
-rw-rw-r--+ 1    2721 May  4 17:08 file B

I want the difference between timestamps of A and B

I tried this:

datetime.fromtimestamp(getmtime(file)).strftime('%h %m %s'))

It gives 

May 05 1557032395
May 04 1557084082

Please help me get the time difference

Looks like you need. 

import os
import datetime

print(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime("file A")) - datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime("file A")))

You can subtract 2 datetime objects to get the difference.
