The following
import datetime as dt
dt.datetime(2019, 7, 21).timestamp()
returns
1563663600.0 .
However, if I look on https://www.unixtimeconverter.io/list/2019/july, then I see that the expected Unix time for this date is 1563667200.
Why the discrepancy?
datetime
doesn't assume UTC by default, so you need to specify it.
dt.datetime(2019, 7, 21, tzinfo=dt.timezone.utc).timestamp()
1563667200
