What does that number mean though? Let me guess: is it the number of
seconds since the Epoch?
>>> t = 1411167038
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(t)
datetime.datetime(2014, 9, 19, 15, 50, 38)
... I think that's what that number means. It may be the number of
seconds since the Epoch.
