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).

Python is very strong in guaranteeing backward compatibility, so why not 
copy the 3.3 pure Python code to your 3.2 setup and see what happens?
