>>> import time
>>> import datetime
>>> s = "01/12/2011"
>>> time.mktime(datetime.datetime.strptime(s, "%d/%m/%Y").timetuple())
1322697600.0

Would convert this data "01/12/2011" -> 1322697600

You can try this "simplified" way too:

>>> int(datetime.datetime.strptime('01/12/2011', '%d/%m/%Y').strftime("%s"))
