A script that I'm writing pulls the system time off of an iPod connected to the computer. The iPod's time is represented as a Unix timestamp (seconds since the epoch), but this timestamp does not represent UTC time, but rather the local timezone of the owner. I need to convert this local time timestamp into a UTC timestamp by referring to the timezone specified by /etc/localtime on the computer.
I've read through the docs, but I'm rather lost on how to pull this particular operation off. Any advice would be appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
