📄 Description

This works around #3. I think it'd be better to get rid of the UNIX timestamp altogether though; it will be clearer. I think it's perfectly possible to sort on raw datetime's.

If you indeed get rid of the epoch, please note that Pythons datetime only goes to year 1 (datetime.MINYEAR), not to year 0, so you'll have to account for that :-)
