Chilkat Python Downloads install with pip pip3 install chilkat or download... Python Module for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

import sys
import chilkat

ulid = "01GRH14AA82EY9A7S99YYF2QDY"

dt = chilkat.CkDateTime()

# Unix timestamps stored in ULIDs should be UTC...
bLocal = False
# Set the CkDateTime from the timestamp contained in the ULID
success = dt.SetFromUlid(bLocal,ulid)
if (success == False):
    print("ULID was not valid.")
    sys.exit()

# You can now get the date/time in any desired format.
# For example:
print("Unix timestamp = " + str(dt.GetAsUnixTime(bLocal)))
print("RFC822 = " + dt.getAsRfc822(bLocal))
print("Timestamp = " + dt.getAsTimestamp(bLocal))

# Sample output:

# Unix timestamp = 1675608861
# RFC822 = Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:54:21 GMT
# Timestamp = 2023-02-05T14:54:21Z
