Converting Epoch time into the datetime

To convert your time value (float or int) to a formatted string, use:

import time

time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(1347517370))

For example:

import time

my_time = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(1347517370))

print(my_time)

You can also use datetime:

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1347517370).strftime('%c')
  '2012-09-13 02:22:50'
