That date is given as the number of seconds since the epoch (1 Jan
1970, 00:00 UTC), which is the standard Unix time_t internal time/date
representation.  You can convert it into human readable format by:

    % date -r 1064005200
    Fri Sep 19 22:00:00 BST 2003 

Or from within Python, you should have access to strftime(3) or
equivalent which will convert a time_t into a human-readable
time/date.
