Python equivalent in javascript's valueOf()

Question

My legacy javascript code is below.

let today = new Date(Date.now());
let todayStr = today.getFullYear() + '-' + addZero(today.getMonth()+1) + '-' + addZero(today.getDate());
let todayStart = (new Date(todayStr + ' 00:00:00')).valueOf()
console.log(todayStart)

It's result is 1544454000000 . That is my server's valid input format.

So I want to migrate this code to Python. My trial was that use datetime.fromtimestamp .
But result was not same to javascript's.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Python doesn't use milliseconds like JavaScript - it uses seconds. So 1000 in JavaScript would be 1 in Python. So all you have to do is:

int(datetime.fromtimestamp) * 1000

To fix the language difference.
