The constructor for DateTime makes a DateTime object of the current 
time. Try something like::

   t = DateTime()

If you want the Python 'time' module's floating point 
seconds-since-epoch format, you can say::

   secs = t.timeTime()

So of course, you could do something like this to get an id::

   id = `int(DateTime().timeTime())`

which makes a string our of an int out of a floating point number made 
from the current time. The string thing may or may not be necessary.
