Maybe you could split out the information.. e.g.:
>>> s = 'Mon Feb 11 01:34:52 CST 2008'
>>> s[4:19] + s[23:], s[20:23]
('Feb 11 01:34:52 2008', 'CST')
You should be able to parse the former with strptime(). You could
then build a dictionary mapping timezones to offsets which you could
add to the parsed time to produce a time in GMT.
