Summary: Datetime enhancements

Initial Comment:
I'm proposing some small enhancements to the datetime module:

Add a totimestamp() method to datetime.datetime that returns the seconds since 1/1/1970 00:00:00. The datetime class has already a fromtimestamp() factory but is missing a totimestamp() method.

Add a __int__() and __float__() method to datetime.timedelta which return the seconds (seconds + 86400 * days) as int and seconds + miliseconds as float. It would save some typing if somebody needs an integer representation of a timedelta object :]

The datetime module is implemented in C. I've never written a Python C extension so I can't help with a patch.

Thx

The patch confuses microseconds with milliseconds.
The divisor in delta_float should be 1000000.0, not 1000.0.
The result of the last test should be 86401.000001, not 86401.001.
