Is there an inverse function for time.gmtime() that parses a UTC tuple to seconds since the epoch?

Question

python\'s time module seems a little haphazard. For example, here is a list of methods in there, from the docstring:

time() -- return current time in second         


        

Answer 1

There is actually an inverse function, but for some bizarre reason, it's in the calendar module: calendar.timegm(). I listed the functions in this answer.
