Python 2.7.8: Different fromtimestamp values for Windows and Linux
Python 2.7.8, I am calling:
import datetime
print datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(10)
But depending on the operating system, there are different results:
- 1970-01-01 01:00:10 - Linux
- 1970-01-01 00:00:10 - Windows
So there is one hour shift. Is this a known issue? Is there a way to unify the return value so that the result is the same across different OSes?

The two operating systems likely had different time zone settings.
The python standard library does not provide a timezone implementation (as written in the python documentation for tzinfo ). In any case, you should use the third party (pure-python) pytz module as in the following code.
from datetime import datetime
from pytz import timezone
tz = timezone('America/St_Johns')
datetime.fromtimestamp(10, tz)

Do you have any time zone differences?

Have a look at tzinfo in the datetime library docs, I wonder if this is different from
