[issue1673409] datetime module missing some important methods

Erik Stephens <python[at]24ksoftware.com> added the comment:

I'm not sure this is still being considered, so I just wanted to add my
opinion. This seems like such a simple request being made overly
complicated. We just want seconds since epoch since that is used in
many other functions and libraries (i.e. the time module,
os.stat().st_mtime). Why is there toordinal()?!? If there is going to
be any toxxx() methods, there should definitely be a
tosecs()/totimestamp() method or an 'epoch/timestamp' attribute. For
boundary cases, I would look to the std time module for guidance.
