Reading a DWORD Date From Registry Using Python & _winreg

Question

I'm trying to read a DWORD date from the Windows registry using Python's _winreg.QueryValueEx and I can't get the correct format.

DWORD Value: 5116e300

Output using _winreg.QueryValueEx: 1360454400

Desired Output: 2/10/2013

Can I use datetime somehow?

Thank you

Edit

kindall's solution worked below.

The final line used was the following:

import time

t = 1360454400
print time.strftime("%m/%d/%y", time.gmtime(t))

Answer 1

This will get you pretty close:

import time

t = 1360454400
print time.strftime("%m/%d/%y", time.gmtime(t))

To get it without the leading zeroes:

t = time.gmtime(t)
print "%d/%d/%2d" % (t.tm_mon, t.tm_mday, t.tm_year % 100)

Answer 2

Strange that DWORD value of 5116e300 is actually a value of 1360388864 and not 1360454400, but anyway...

ts = datetime.fromtimestamp(1360454400)

print '{:%m/%d/%Y}'.format(ts) #
# '02/10/2013'

or:

print '{0.month}/{0.day}/{0.year}'.format(ts)
# '2/10/2013'
