Python Datetime – How to Create a Datetime in Python from Milliseconds?

datetimepython

How do I create a datetime in Python from milliseconds? I can create a similar Date object in Java by java.util.Date(milliseconds).

Allocates a Date object and initializes it to represent the specified number of milliseconds since the standard base time known as "the epoch", namely January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

From string to milliseconds:

s = "4:34.234"
hours, minutes, seconds = (["0", "0"] + s.split(":"))[-3:]
hours = int(hours)
minutes = int(minutes)
seconds = float(seconds)
miliseconds = int(3600000 * hours + 60000 * minutes + 1000 * seconds)

From milliseonds to string:

hours, milliseconds = divmod(miliseconds, 3600000)
minutes, milliseconds = divmod(miliseconds, 60000)
seconds = float(milliseconds) / 1000
s = "%i:%02i:%06.3f" % (hours, minutes, seconds)
