seconds since midnight to datetime (python)

Question

I have a timezone aware datetime date object:

Timestamp('2004-03-29 00:00:00-0456', tz='America/New_York')

and a number of mili seconds since midnight (midnight in the local timezone):

34188542

How to combine them to get a valid datetime?

Create a timedelta object and add it to you time like this:

td = datetime.timedelta(milliseconds=34188542) date_object = datetime.datetime.now() + td # change to your datetime object, I just use `now()`

Assuming the datetime object is ts, and by "combine them", you mean "add them":

ms = 34188545 new_datetime = ts + datetime.timedelta(milliseconds = ms)
