convert from date string to epoch

Hi, i have to convert several timestamps. The given format, eg "-mm-dd hh:mm:ss" has to be converted to an epoch string. Is there any proper way to do this? If not, i have to split the given string and resolve this by a calculation? Thanks for help. Stefan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailm
