I agree that PyTime.Format consists with result of time.gmtime. But
time returned from PyTime.__int__ is not consists with Python time
module. You may put the fact into win32 help file. (see example below)

PythonWin 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on

>>> import os, time, win32api
>>> fname = 'D:/python/pythonwin/pythonwin.txt'
>>> last_time = os.path.getmtime(fname)
>>> time.localtime(last_time)
(1999, 5, 3, 17, 23, 16, 0, 123, 1)
>>> fobj = win32api.FindFiles(fname)[0]
>>> w_last_f_time = fobj[3]
>>> w_last_f_time.Format()
'05/03/99 22:23:16'
>>> time.gmtime(last_time)
(1999, 5, 3, 22, 23, 16, 0, 123, 0)    <-- same as above
>>> time.gmtime(int(w_last_f_time))
(1999, 5, 4, 3, 23, 16, 1, 124, 0)     <-- wrong
>>> time.localtime(int(w_last_f_time))
(1999, 5, 3, 22, 23, 16, 0, 123, 1)    <-- wrong again
