date.fromtimestamp() getting date and time by using POSIX timestamp

fromtimestamp() : returns date and time by using POSIX timestamp

Get all details about Timestamp and generate timestamp
by using Calendar and time sliders.

Getting present timestamp

from datetime import datetime
timestamp = datetime.timestamp(datetime.now())
print("Present Timestamp : ",timestamp)

Output

Present Timestamp :  1568717876.556073

Using Timestamp as input we will use fromtimestamp() to get date and time

from datetime import datetime
timestamp = datetime.timestamp(datetime.now())
print("Present Timestamp : ",timestamp)
dt=datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)
print(dt)

Output

Present Timestamp :  1568717943.760438
2019-09-17 16:29:03.760438

Example 1: Converting a Timestamp to a Readable Date

from datetime import datetime
timestamp = 1609459200  # January 1, 2021
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)
print(dt)  # Output: 2021-01-01 00:00:00

Example 2: Handling Time Zones

from datetime import datetime, timezone
timestamp = 1609459200
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp, tz=timezone.utc)
print(dt)  # Output: 2021-01-01 00:00:00+00:00 (UTC)

Example 3: Converting the Current Time to a Timestamp

from datetime import datetime
current_time = datetime.now().timestamp()  # Get current time as timestamp
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(current_time)
print(dt)  # Output: Current date and time

Example 4: Converting Future Timestamps

from datetime import datetime
future_timestamp = 1798787865  #  2027/01/01 07:17:45
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(future_timestamp)
print(dt)  # Output: 2027-01-01 12:47:45

Example 5: Handling Timestamps Before Epoch (Negative Timestamps)

negative_timestamp = -123456789
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(negative_timestamp)
print(dt)  # Output: Date before epoch

Output

OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

You can use above mentioned timestamp genegrator and use this as input to generate date and time.
