How to convert bigint(20) into timestamp format using python

I have file with contents retrieved from mysql DB.
which has a time field with type defined bigint(20)
I want to parse that field into timestamp format(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS GMT) using python code.
The value I found for that field is 212099016004150509
Give me sample code that does the conversion.

Thanks

The value you provided does not make sense to me as a date and time, nor as a unix timestamp. Can you please explain to what date and time does this value correspond?

I also felt like that at first look as it is of length 18 digits long. But after browsing the net I found that there is possibility that the timestamp has been storing in this format in some DBs.

212099645407486318 is mostly nearby to the time 2009-Jan-25 12:16:00 GMT

I'm not sure about exact equivalent of time for the value given.
