Well it is this particular timestamp.
Which is what you presented as “what I have”.
I'd expect all of the timestamps to be the same type. That example is
an integer (a 'long' to be exact).
But I have a lot of files to process and some do have a timestamp with
the milliseconds.
So, if you want help with such timestamps, you'll need to present a real
example (or preferably several exmaples) of timestamps that need this
handling.
Right.
The question is: how to get the number of milliseconds out of
timestamp?
From the timestamp you showed: The number of milliseconds is zero, since
it's an integer. That datatype will *always* have zero milliseconds.
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.
Because that's the data you're showing us: A timestamp with an integer
number of seconds.
And in Python 2, an integer divided by an integer gives an integer.
I can actually produce another timestamp with the milliseconds from a
different file...
Then you won't be able to represent it as an integer number of seconds.
What are you receiving in the data? What data type is it?
