Question

Dhtmlxscheduler provides me with the following date object, the methods

Answer 1

It looks like you are getting something like an ordinary javascript Date object. In this case, the easiest method is probably to use the getTime method to obtain a timestamp. It should return something like 1321463229215, which is just a timestamp in milliseconds.

datetime's fromtimestamp expects a timestamp in seconds, so just divide that timestamp by 1000.0 and you're good to go

from datetime import datetime
datetime.fromtimestamp(1321463229215 / 1000.0)
