utime only modifies accessed and modified times. Is there a way to do modify the creation/birth time with Python?
Filesystem is ZFS if that matters.

You want touch functionality, and it's available in the os module using utime().
See https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/os.html#os.utime, and also Implement touch using Python?

But utime only supports modification and accessed times, not birth/creation times. – churchill Mar 05 '22 at 23:49
