Python Timestamp Examples - DateTime, Pandas & Timezone Code

from datetime import datetime, timezone

# Get current datetime
now = datetime.now()
print(now)  # 2024-01-01 12:00:00.123456

# Get current UTC datetime  
utc_now = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
print(utc_now)  # 2024-01-01 12:00:00.123456+00:00

# Create specific datetime
dt = datetime(2024, 1, 1, 12, 30, 45)
print(dt)  # 2024-01-01 12:30:45

# From timestamp
timestamp = 1704110400
dt_from_ts = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)
print(dt_from_ts)  # 2024-01-01 12:00:00

Essential datetime operations for working with timestamps and date objects in Python.

from datetime import datetime, timezone

# DateTime to timestamp
dt = datetime(2024, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0, tzinfo=timezone.utc)
timestamp = dt.timestamp()
print(timestamp)  # 1704110400.0

# Timestamp to datetime
dt_back = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp, tz=timezone.utc)
print(dt_back)  # 2024-01-01 12:00:00+00:00

# Current timestamp
current_ts = datetime.now().timestamp()
print(current_ts)  # Current timestamp

Convert between datetime objects and Unix timestamps with timezone awareness.
