#10847: Time conversion error
----------------------------------------------+------------------------

----------------------------------------------+------------------------
After upgrading to 0.25 my old scripts using
`MythTV.MythXML.getProgramDetails()` stopped working, giving either
`urllib2.HTTPError` or `httplib.BadStatusLine` errors. (Traceback from the
Python interpreter attached.) The reason seems to be that
`getProgramDetails()` now expects the `starttime` argument in UTC.
However, when passed a UTC `starttime` argument, the method returns a
`Program` object with an incorrect `starttime` attribute that is neither
UTC nor local time.
Example: The news program 'Rapport' starts at 19:30 local Swedish time
(17:30 UTC).
{{{
#!python
>>> prog = MythTV.MythXML().getProgramDetails(u'6011', u'2012-06-20
17:30:00')
>>> print prog.title, prog.starttime
Rapport 2012-06-20 18:30:00
}}}
I believe that the problem is the time representation conversion in
`MythTV.utility.datetime.timestamp()`. This method is calling
`time.mktime()`, which expects a `struct_time` in local time as argument,
with a `struct_time` in UTC. The problem can be resolved by calling
`calendar.timegm()` instead. (See table on
http://docs.python.org/library/time.html) Patch is attached.
