[Tutor] Is it possible to "backport" the datetime module of Python 3.3 to Python 3.2?

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

Hi,

My Raspberry Pi 2 comes with Python 3.2 (and 2.7). I run some code that uses the datetime module but I get an error:

"AttributeError: 'datetime.datetime' object has no attribute 'timestamp'". On https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.3.html I see: "New datetime.datetime.timestamp() method: Return POSIX timestamp corresponding to thedatetime instance." Is upgrading Python 3.3 or higher my only option, or is it somehow possible to use the newer version of the datetime library for Python 3.2? I do not want to modify the source code of the library that causes the error (pysolar).

Thanks!

 
Regards,

Albert-Jan
