Python datetime to timestamp two way conversion

It is very nice to having datetime to timestamp two way conversion. Python simply give us this feature. Lets have a look

 
from datetime import datetime
import time

date= datetime(2012,10,16) # You set date as datetime.now()
print date
print time.mktime(date.timetuple())
print datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(date.timetuple()))

Output:

2012-10-16 00:00:00
1350324000.0
2012-10-16 00:00:00
