I can't figure out this error using time() in python

Here is my code:

# Given an Unix timestamp in milliseconds (ts), return a human-readable date and time (hrdt)
def parseTS(ts):
  hrdt = time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000", time.time(int(ts)/1000))
  return str(hrdt)

I am getting this error:

TypeError: time() takes no arguments (1 given)

UPDATE:

This worked:

hrdt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(ts)//1000)
return hrdt

The time.time(int(ts)/1000) function is wrong.

Try one of time.ctime, time.gtime() or time.localtime() functions to achieve what you want.

The problem is this:

time.time(int(ts)/1000)

And (as the error is telling you), time() takes no arguments.

It's unclear what you're trying to do, but maybe you want:

int(time.time() / 1000)

Or just int(time.time()) if you want the time in seconds without the floating point part.

As the error says, time.time() doesn't take any arguments, it just returns current time as floating point. Maybe you are thinking of time.ctime()?
