Converting Epoch time into the datetime

I am getting a response from the rest is an Epoch time format like start_time = 1234566 end_time = 1234578 I want to convert that epoch seconds in MySQL format time so that I could store the differences in my MySQL database. I tried: >>> import time >>> time.gmtime(123456) time.struct_time(tm_year=1970, tm_mon=1, tm_mday=2, tm_hour=10, tm_min=17, tm_sec=36, tm_wday=4, tm_yday=2, tm_isdst=0) The above result is not what I am expecting. I want it be like 2012-09-12 21:00:00 Please suggest how can I achieve this? Also, Why I am getting TypeError: a float is required for >>> getbbb_class.end_time = 1347516459425 >>> mend = time.gmtime(getbbb_class.end_time).tm_hour Traceback (most recent call last): ... TypeError: a float is required
To convert your time value (float or int) to a formatted string, use: strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', localtime(1347517370)) preceded by this import: from time import strftime, localtime
