10847	Time conversion error	Andreas Reibring <andreas@…>	Raymond Wagner	"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.
