Adding votes to a tracker issue without a working patch will not move it any further. There are several committers besides me in the nosy list including the original author of the datetime module. If it was such a universally desired feature as Ka-Ping makes it sound, it would be committed long before I became the maintainer of the datetime module. > It is against the spirit of what Python has set out to be, and the blocking > needs to stop. I don't think any committer has a power to *block* a patch. I certainly don't. If Ka-Ping wants to add a feature over my objections, it is well within his power to do so. (Note that I objected to timedelta.total_seconds(), but it was added nevertheless.) It would be best, however to bring this to python-dev or python-ideas first. > Any chance we could get a .epoch() function into python 2.7 as well?
