[issue2736] datetime needs an "epoch" method

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

I agree with Victor that the APIs need improving, even if it involves providing obvious replacements of obscure one-liners. As an occasional user of datetime and time modules, I have too often wanted to curse those limited, awkwardly inconsistent APIs.

Just my 2 seconds of course :-)
