Converting to unix timestamp Python

I am trying to convert a datestamp of now into Unix TimeStamp, however the code below seems to be hit but then just jumps to the end of my app, as in seems to not like the time.mktime part.

from datetime import datetime
import time

now = datetime.now()
toDayDate = now.replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)
newDate = time.mktime(datetime.strptime(toDayDate, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").timetuple())
print(newDate)

Answer

Change

newDate = time.mktime(datetime.strptime(toDayDate, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").timetuple())

to

newDate = time.mktime(datetime.timetuple())

as an example I did:

from datetime import datetime
from time import mktime
t = datetime.now()
unix_secs = mktime(t.timetuple())

and got unix_secs = 1488214742.0

Credit to @tarashypka- use t.utctimetuple() if you want the result in UTC (e.g. if your datetime object is aware of timezones)
