Как я могу преобразовать объект datetime в миллисекунды с момента epoch (unix time) в Python?

в Python 3.3 добавьте новый метод.

datetime.timestamp()

https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.timestamp

>>> import datetime
>>> # replace datetime.datetime.now() with your datetime object
>>> int(datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%s")) * 1000 
1312908481000

или помощью модуля времени (и без форматирования даты):

>>> import datetime, time
>>> # replace datetime.datetime.now() with your datetime object
>>> time.mktime(datetime.datetime.now().timetuple()) * 1000
1312908681000.0

ответил с помощью: http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac_python/datesandtimes.html

документы:

• time.mktime
• datetime.timetuple

вы можете использовать Delorean для путешествий в пространстве и времени!

import datetime
import delorean
dt = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
delorean.Delorean(dt, timezone="UTC").epoch

Recommendedations от Python 2.7 docs для time модуль

вот как я это делаю:

from datetime import datetime
from time import mktime

dt = datetime.now()
sec_since_epoch = mktime(dt.timetuple()) + dt.microsecond/1000000.0

millis_since_epoch = sec_since_epoch * 1000

from datetime import datetime
from calendar import timegm

# Note: if you pass in a naive dttm object it's assumed to already be in UTC
def unix_time(dttm=None):
    if dttm is None:
       dttm = datetime.utcnow()

    return timegm(dttm.utctimetuple())

print "Unix time now: %d" % unix_time()
print "Unix timestamp from an existing dttm: %d" % unix_time(datetime(2014, 12, 30, 12, 0))

>>> import datetime
>>> import time
>>> import calendar

>>> #your datetime object
>>> now = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> now
datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 19, 13, 0, 9, 351812)

>>> #use datetime module's timetuple method to get a `time.struct_time` object.[1]
>>> tt = datetime.datetime.timetuple(now)
>>> tt
time.struct_time(tm_year=2013, tm_mon=3, tm_mday=19, tm_hour=13, tm_min=0, tm_sec=9,     tm_wday=1, tm_yday=78, tm_isdst=-1)

>>> #If your datetime object is in utc you do this way. [2](see the first table on docs)
>>> sec_epoch_utc = calendar.timegm(tt) * 1000
>>> sec_epoch_utc
1363698009

>>> #If your datetime object is in local timeformat you do this way
>>> sec_epoch_loc = time.mktime(tt) * 1000
>>> sec_epoch_loc
1363678209.0

вот еще одна форма решения с нормализацией вашего объекта времени:

def to_unix_time(timestamp):
    epoch = datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(0) # start of epoch time
    my_time = datetime.datetime.strptime(timestamp, "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%f") # plugin your time object
    delta = my_time - epoch
    return delta.total_seconds() * 1000.0

немного кода панды:

import pandas

def to_millis(dt):
    return int(pandas.to_datetime(dt).value / 1000000)

import time
seconds_since_epoch = time.mktime(your_datetime.timetuple()) * 1000

Это другое решение для скрытого datetime для unixtimestampmillis.

private static readonly DateTime UnixEpoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

    public static long GetCurrentUnixTimestampMillis()
    {
        DateTime localDateTime, univDateTime;
        localDateTime = DateTime.Now;          
        univDateTime = localDateTime.ToUniversalTime();
        return (long)(univDateTime - UnixEpoch).TotalMilliseconds;
    }
