Convert Unix timestamp to DateTime in python
Date-time conversion is a very important aspect of the world of programming. In python, there is no specific data type for date and time. But there are different modules and pre-installed packages in python by which we can deal in this area. One of the conversions which come under the date-time conversions is the conversion of UNIX timestampto DateTime in python.
A UNIX timestamp is defined as the several numbers of seconds between a particular date and the Epoch i.e January 1, 1970 at UTC.
In this tutorial, we will see some methods by which we can convert a UNIX timestamp to DateTime in Python. Table of ContentsUsing fromtimestamp() FunctionUsing strftime() FunctionUsing to_datetime() Function Using fromtimestamp() Function
One of the functions in this module is the fromtimestamp() function. This function returns the time that is expressed as seconds i.e UNIX timestamp.
Here, we first import the datetime class from the datetime module. Then we store the UNIX value object in a variable. After that, we use the datetime.fromtimestamp() function that will get us the time and date. Finally, we print the unix_val variable.
