with open(FILENAME, 'a', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    n = 0
    for tweet in rs.stream():
        n += 1
        if n % PRINT_AFTER_X == 0:
            print('{0}: {1}'.format(str(n), tweet['created_at']))
        json.dump(tweet, f)
        f.write('\n')
print('done')

How can I convert “tweet[‘created_at’]” twitter date-time format to " Unix epoch time" ot “MM/dd/yyyy H:mm” format in my code block before save to json file .

The dates are already UTC, like all dates on Twitter API. The format is:

'%a %b %d %H:%M:%S +0000 %Y'
