'datetime.datetime' object has no attribute 'timestamp'

Whenever I try to do, now.timestamp() I get 'datetime.datetime' object has no attribute 'timestamp' is it because I am using Python 2.7 ? Checking on the "now" variable using dir() I get no timestamp attribute.

Hi Daniel,

It is indeed because you run on Python 2. https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html
