title: How do I convert relative dates to absolute dates?
body: <p>I am looking at a netcdf file through Python and the date on the netcdf file is 138276, which is the number of hours since 2000-01-01 00:00:00. This date corresponds to October 7. How I can convert this date of 138276 hours since 2000-01-01 00:00:00 into the format of 2015-10-07 00:00:00?</p>
