Convert epoch to human-readable date python

I want to convert from epoch to date like that : 1575135888 ==> 3 years ago (https://i.stack.imgur.com/x2ZPW.png)

I have this code :

date_c = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1575135888)
print(datetime.date.today())  
print(date_c) 

I got 2022-12-09

and 2019-11-30 18:44:48

I don’t know how to convert it to 3 years ago.

Well, you could use timedelta like this:

from datetime import datetime
print(datetime.today() - datetime.fromtimestamp(1575135888), "ago")

Output:

1104 days, 15:57:21.760720 ago

But I’m afraid that the meaning of “years ago” is ambiguous: Does it mean 365 days, 365.25 days?
