Question

Answer 1

If it's microseconds then you can convert them to seconds, and use fromtimestamp() to convert seconds since the UNIX epoch to a datetime object.

This is explained in this answer to the question How to convert microsecond timestamp to readable date?

import datetime

timestamp_microseconds = 1396752197709867
timestamp_seconds = timestamp_microseconds/1000000
dobj = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp_seconds)
print(dobj.isoformat())  # -> 2014-04-05T19:43:17.709867
