In Python, how do I convert a datetime.datetime
into the kind of float
that I would get from the time.time
function?
It's not hard to use the time tuple method and still retain the microseconds:
>>> t = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> t
datetime.datetime(2011, 11, 5, 11, 26, 15, 37496)
>>> time.mktime(t.timetuple()) + t.microsecond / 1E6
1320517575.037496
