Are you using Python 2? If yes, then try dividing by 1000.0.
Yes, I'm using python 2.7.
But dividing by 1000 will give the precision in seconds, i.e. -MM-DD
HH:MM:SS.
Did you notice the bit at the end there? Try

I have always found it quite nice that the python parser is so easy to
use from within python itself.
Yes.

This is because this timestamp is not in seconds, but rather in
milliseconds.
Now the question I have is: how do I properly convert this timestamp into
the datetime object with the milliseconds?

I don't quite follow your reasoning here. By cut-and-try do you mean
bisection? If so it gives the first N decimal digits in N*log2(10)
iterations.

To me the obvious method is Newton iteration which takes O(sqrt(N))
iterations to obtain N digits of precision. This brings the above
complexity below quadratic:

And Mark's point is: How do the docs say to do it? What fails when you
try it that way?

Its the finding of the string in a binary file that I am not clear on.

If it's easy why can't you answer it via the docs rather than ask here?

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask

Okay, that looks totally cool. Maybe I'll finally get a handle on
LISP! :)
Lisp is conceptually simpler than Python, but awe-inspiring. One day, it
will overtake Python, I believe.
Once you have Lisp down pat, you'll be able to appreciate URL:
