pandas date conversion error from string to epoch time

I have the code snippet as follows:

import time
now = time.time()
evt_time='2022-10-20T04:10:36Z'
diff_time = now - pd.to_datetime(evt_time, unit='s')

This results in an error. Primarily because the now is in epoch time and the evt_time needs to be converted. How do I achieve this conversion? I need the result in epoch time... Thanks!

You can use Timestamp.timestamp to convert to epoch:

import time
now = time.time()
evt_time = '2022-10-20T04:10:36Z'
diff_time = now - pd.Timestamp(evt_time).timestamp()
diff_time

example output: 157054.39800930023
