use time, and int to remove the milliseconds

from time import time 

int(time())

# 1561043225

There is another stupid trick - achieve timedelta 

(datetime.utcnow()-datetime(1970,1,1,0,0,0)).total_seconds()

found here. Better

(datetime.utcnow()-datetime.fromtimestamp(0)).total_seconds()

And this solution contains subseconds.

If I understand correctly what sort of output you are seeking:

from datetime import datetime
timestamp = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
print(timestamp)

> 11:44:40

EDIT: Appears I misinterpreted your question? You are asking for the naive universal time, then galaxyan's answer is concise.

If you don't have to get timestamp from structure datetime, you can decrease instruction like this

import time
print time.time()
