I'm having difficulty working with dates in Python and Javascript.

>>> d = date(2004, 01, 01)

>>> d

datetime.date(2004, 1, 1)

>>> time.mktime(d.timetuple())

1072944000.0

Then, in Javascript (data sent over Ajax):

>>> new Date(1072944000.0)

Tue Jan 13 1970 02:02:24 GMT-0800 (PST) {}

I'm confused. Shouldn't the Javascript date be the same as the one that I entered in Python? What am I doing wrong?

Javascript's Date() takes milliseconds as an argument. Python's uses seconds. You have to multiply by 1,000.
