Well it is this particular timestamp.

Right. The question is: how to get the number of milliseconds out of timestamp? Once again: I can get the datetime object with the seconds precision by dividing it on 1000. But that will produce the datetime object with the seconds precision. I can actually produce another timestamp with the milliseconds from a different file...
