How to change decimal number of time to date and time in python

I'm a newbie in python and have a simple question in python 2.7. I'm getting 1492500360 this number like in excel for date and time in python and want it to be converted like 2017/04/17 hh:mm:ss.

What kind of method should I use?

I actually looked over in Google, but can't find (I might not be good at searching...)

Thanks in advance.

The code below uses datetime module. It will then grab the current time from your machine and store it in current_time. From there you can do whatever you want.

from datetime import datetime
current_time = datetime.strftime(datetime.now(), '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S')
print current_time

OUTPUT: 2017/04/18 09:23:01

That code works:

lt = time.localtime(1492500360)
stime = '%4d/%02d/%02d %02d:%02d:%02d' % (lt.tm_year, lt.tm_mon, lt.tm_mday, lt.tm_hour, lt.tm_min, lt.tm_sec)

stime is the formatted string we wanted

Maybe that could help.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from datetime import timedelta, datetime

def TimeNow(time):
    sec = timedelta(seconds=int(time))
    dtime = datetime(1,1,1) + sec
    dnow = datetime.now()


    print("YEAR: %d \tDAY: %d \tMONTH: %d \tHOURS: %d \tMIN: %d \tSEC: %d" % (dnow.year, dtime.day, dnow.month, 
                                                                              dtime.hour, dtime.minute, dtime.second))

TimeNow(1492500360)
