title: Converting to unix timestamp Python
body: <p>I am trying to convert a datestamp of now into Unix TimeStamp, however the code below seems to be hit but then just jumps to the end of my app, as in seems to not like the time.mktime part.</p>
  
  <pre><code>from datetime import datetime
  import time
  
  now = datetime.now()
  toDayDate = now.replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)
  newDate = time.mktime(datetime.strptime(toDayDate, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").timetuple())
  print(newDate)
  </code></pre>
