Compare 2 times

I have a requirement to test the creation time of a file with the
current time and raise a message if the file is more than 15 minutes
old.

Platform is Unix.

I have looked at using os.path.getctime for the file creation time and
time.time() for the current time, but is this the best approach?

.
