Thanks, I am aware of the current serialization support of ptime objects. As 
far as the docs go, it supports text and xml archives.

However, I'm not that interested in (de)serializing to a variable amount of 
bytes where 8 bytes would be more than sufficient, please see attached. I'm 
particularly interested in efficient binary serialization of date_time types 
and/or conversion to integer(s).

Cheers,
