used in ASN.1, and the timestamps used in MySQL. Need a unifying
class to hide all this nastiness.
+ POW.pkix provides conversion functions for ASN.1. MySQL timestamps
+ appear to map to Python datetime objects. One can convert between
+ datetime and time (seconds since epoch) objects using:
+
+ time_object = time.mktime(datetime_object.timetuple())
+ datetime_object = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(time_object))
+
+ if one is willing to discard fractional seconds (which we probably
+ are in this case, as they're not useful with ASN.1). No doubt there
+ would be a way to preserserve fractional seconds if we cared.
