title: How do I round down an epoch timestamp to the nearest minute in Python?
body: <p>I'd like to round down/floor an epoch/Unix timestamp so as to remove the seconds.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Python 2.x and Python 3.x</p>
  
  <p>E.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>1488728901 = Sun, 05 Mar 2017 15:48:21 GMT
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1488728880 = Sun, 05 Mar 2017 15:48:00 GMT
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There's some great answers by using <code>datetime</code> to manipulate the time but it seems OTT if my input and output are integers.</p>
