1399266718207 is a timestamp in milliseconds, not seconds. Divide it by 1000:

>>> import time
>>> timeStamp = 1399266718207
>>> time.localtime(timeStamp / 1000.0)
time.struct_time(tm_year=2014, tm_mon=5, tm_mday=5, tm_hour=6, tm_min=11, tm_sec=58, tm_wday=0, tm_yday=125, tm_isdst=1)
>>> time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", _)
'2014-05-05 06:11:58'

The datetime module supports retaining the millisecond precision:

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timeStamp / 1000.0)
datetime.datetime(2014, 5, 5, 6, 11, 58, 207000)
>>> _.isoformat(' ')
'2014-05-05 06:11:58.207000'
