#Python Convert datetime to Unix Epoch Timestamp
There doesn’t seem to be a way to get a Unix timestamp directly from a datetime object in Python, the best workaround example I could find is:
1 2 3 4 5 | from datetime import datetime import time now = datetime.now() u = str(long(time.mktime(now.timetuple()))) |
This gets the timestamp as a string, it seems a bit long winded, so if anybody knows a better way please let me know!
