Response from the upstream author (please consider replying to the upstream bug report, not here): "FYI, the Python example is wrong. If `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` is supposed to be a Unix timestamp (number of seconds since epoch), then `time.gmtime()` is not the Python equivalent. However, `calendar.timegm(datetime.datetime.utcnow().utctimetuple())` or `calendar.timegm(time.gmtime())` is. It is annoyingly complicated to get a Unix timestamp in Python. Although Python >= 3.3 makes it easier with `datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp()`. Not sure how the `datetime` module went so long without the ability to return a timestamp." -- Brian May <b...@debian.org> _______________________________________________ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
