Python3
# Python3 code to demonstrate# Getting a date corresponding# to a specified timestamp # Importing datetime and time module import datetimeimport time # Calling the time() function# to return current timeTodays_time = time.time() # Printing today's timeprint(Todays_time) # Calling the fromtimestamp() function# to get date from the current timedate_From_CurrentTime = datetime.date.fromtimestamp(Todays_time); # Printing the current dateprint("Date for the Timestamp is: %s"%date_From_CurrentTime); |
Output:
1627279008.95 Date for the Timestamp is: 2021-07-26
Example 2: Getting a date corresponding to a specified timestamp.
