An error occurs in Windows:
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
while everything works as it should in Linux
from datetime import datetime
a = datetime.fromtimestamp(0)
a.timestamp() # - an error occurs here
How can I fix this in Windows?

No, because it doesn't mention fromtimestamp. The problem in timestamp arises from the datetime object that was created with fromtimestamp(0) – N.Maxim Jun 09 '21 at 08:25

apologies for my initial comment, which I think was misleading. [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/65564765/10197418) basically says "it's a Windows thing" and "doesn't happen with aware datetime" (which I can reproduce). But: it gives no clue as to *why* this happens on Windows. Anyhow, my takeaway would be: work with aware datetime whenever you can (preferably UTC) – FObersteiner Jun 09 '21 at 10:08
