str.format_time

Renders a time value as text. The format is a specimen date rather than a set of escapes: write out 2006-01-02 15:04:05 in the arrangement you want. The optional timezone defaults to UTC. Note the unit. This function reads its first argument as seconds, while time, time_close, timenow and timestamp all produce milliseconds, so divide by a thousand first. Passing a time value straight in reports a wrong date and raises nothing.
