Working with the dates is not that easy and not just in Python.
There are too many different formatting involved with many different
representation.
And on top of it it is possible to use one system in completely different
environment.

But this particular question is easy.

What I have is a timestamp which reads: 1289410678L.

Trying to convert this into the datetime object in Python using:

import datetime
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp( stamp )

produces the error: timestamp out of range for platform
localtime()/gmtime() function.

This is because this timestamp is not in seconds, but rather in
milliseconds.

Now the question I have is: how do I properly convert this timestamp into
the datetime object with the milliseconds?

Thank you.
