Answer 1

from datetime import datetime
from datetime import timezone

# Datetime to timestamp
t = datetime.now()
due_by = t.timestamp()
# 1600261731.016313
print(due_by)

# Timestamp to datetime
due_by = datetime.fromtimestamp(due_by, tz=timezone.utc)
# 2020-09-16 13:08:51.016313+00:00
print(due_by)
