In Python 2 how to convert 10 digit timestamp to 13 digit timestamp?

Input:

today = datetime.now()
yesterday = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)
today_unixtime = int((mod_time.mktime(today.timetuple())+today.microsecond/1000000.0))
dt_object = datetime.fromtimestamp(today_unixtime)
print(today)
print("timestamp =", today_unixtime)
print("date =", dt_object)

Output:

2020-01-17 11:31:40.450943
('timestamp =', 1579240900)
('date =', datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 17, 11, 31, 40))

I am getting correct date and time. But when I checked in Chrome browser console, 

new Date(1579240900)

it's given me 50 years back date. While I am converting same timestamp in Python:

Input:

 dt_object = datetime.fromtimestamp(today_unixtime)

Output:

 Mon Jan 19 1970 12:10:40 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

Timestamp has to be always 13 digit in year of 2020. Why it's coming as 10 digit? How to convert as 13 digit in Python 2?

I need 13 digit only, my API is taking 13 digit.

This question also asked python convert 10 digits datetimestamp to 13 digit GMT timestamp but no answers.

    Multiply it by 1,000? JavaScript handles timestamps in *milli*seconds. – jonrsharpe Jan 17 '20 at 08:03
  • In fact, *your answer* on the linked question shows multiplying by 1,000, so I'm baffled as to what you're asking here. – jonrsharpe Jan 17 '20 at 08:09
  • @jonrsharpe Stackoverflow allows to answer your own question if you think it is rellevant for other users. So the OP doesn't really have a question, just wants to share how to solve a problem other people might encounter –  Jan 17 '20 at 09:27
  • @SembeiNorimaki [self answered questions](https://stackoverflow.com/help/self-answer): 1. must still meet the quality requirements of all posts; and 2. generally don't have the answer posted *an hour later*. Also the OP here has clearly been able to find the previous question, so no signpost is needed, and explicitly says *"but no answers"* despite having posted the same thing there. Maybe that *is* what they were trying to do, but they've gone about it in a baffling way (and it's still just a trivial multiplication, not to mention a dupe of https://stackoverflow.com/q/5998245/3001761). – jonrsharpe Jan 17 '20 at 09:30

I am using python 2.7

import time
import datetime
import time as mod_time
from datetime import datetime
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from datetime import date, timedelta  

today = datetime.now()
yesterday = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)
today_time = int((mod_time.mktime(today.timetuple())))
yesterday_time = int((mod_time.mktime(yesterday.timetuple())))
today_unixtime = (today_time*1000)
yesterday_unixtime = (yesterday_time*1000)
print("today timestamp =", today_unixtime)
print("yesterday timestamp =", yesterday_unixtime)

Output

('today timestamp =', 1579243097000)
('yesterday timestamp =', 1579156697000)

You can check the current time stamp from crome browser console.

new Date(1579243097000)

it will gives you a current date and time.
