I'm not sure this is still being considered, so I just wanted to add my opinion. This seems like such a simple request being made overly complicated. We just want seconds since epoch since that is used in many other functions and libraries (i.e. the time module, os.stat().st_mtime). Why is there toordinal()?!? If there is going to be any toxxx() methods, there should definitely be a tosecs()/totimestamp() method or an 'epoch/timestamp' attribute. For boundary cases, I would look to the std time module for guidance.
