We can leverage the datetime.utcfromtimestamp() method within the datetime module.


        
        
            
                
                
                    from datetime import datetime

#The timestamp we want to convert to a date
ts = int("1573245632")

print(datetime.utcfromtimestamp(ts))
                
            
            2019-11-08 20:40:32

If you would like to format the date in a more custom manner, you can leverage the datetime.strftime(~) method.


        
        
            
                
                
                    from datetime import datetime

ts = int("1573245632")
print(datetime.utcfromtimestamp(ts).strftime("%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S"))
                
            
            11/08/2019, 20:40:32
