title: Converting a java System.currentTimeMillis() to date in python
body: <p>I have timestamp in milliseconds from 1970. I would like to convert it to a human readable date in python. I don't might losing some precision if it comes to that.</p>
  
  <p>How should I do that ?</p>
  
  <p>The following give <strong>ValueError: timestamp out of range for platform time_t</strong> on Linux 32bit</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python
  from datetime import date
  print date.fromtimestamp(1241711346274)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank you,
  Maxim.</p>
