use same time format in Java and Python

I have 2 modules, the first one is generating ingestion_time as shown below 

Long ingestion_time = System.currentTimeMillis();

The sample output of this ingestion_time is

ingestion_time = 446453570778734

Now I have the second module in python which is generating detection_time for the same event as shown below

detection_time = time.time()

The sample output of this detection_time is

detection_time = 1524807106.92

I want to have them in the same format so that I can get latency as

latency =  detection_time - ingestion_time

Both modules are on the same system.

Please help!

Edit 1

by using 

now = long(time.time())
print "detection_time  = %s "%now

I get detection_time as

detection_time  = 1524808352

which is still not comparable with generation_time as the number of digits is different

generation_time = 1524808352170

Answer

using below-mentioned code solved my issue

now = int(round(time.time() * 1000))
print "detection_time  = %s "%now
Solution

  • What you need is to get the time in Mili seconds.

    import time
millis = int(round(time.time() * 1000))
print millis

    For reuse:

    import time

current_milli_time = lambda: int(round(time.time() * 1000))

    Then:

    >>> current_milli_time()
1378761833768
