Not sure what do you mean by 'site' ...

The code below uses site as location on the file system. It iterates over the sites list and read the files for each site.

import os
import datetime

data = dict()

sites = ['.']
for site in sites:
    data['listofiles'] = []
    data['site'] = site
    for f in os.listdir(site):
        data['listofiles'].append(
            {'time': str(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(os.path.join(site, f)))), 'name': f})
