Python, convert from ms to datetime

I am having a problem converting from ms to datetime. I get wrong datetime when printing.

I want to convert 1701092673 ms to datetime.

The result I am expecting is 2023-11-27 02:44:33

import datetime

ms = 1701092673
dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(ms/1000).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
print (dt)

python prints 1970-01-20 17:31:32

I also tried the code below:

import datetime

ms = 1701092673
dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(ms).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
print (dt)

Python prints 2023-11-27 14:44:33

Solution

  • Do you expect 12-hour time? Then change %H to %I:

    import datetime

ms = 1701092673
dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(ms).strftime("%Y-%m-%d %I:%M:%S")
print(dt)

    Prints:

    2023-11-27 02:44:33
