[issue6280] calendar.timegm() belongs in time module, next to time.gmtime()

[Francesco Del Degan]

Francesco Del Degan <f.deldegan at ngi.it> added the comment:

I attached a patch that implements timegm according to two constraints:

1. If HAVE_TIMEGM is defined, use it

or

2. If HAVE_MKTIME and HAVE_WORKING_TZSET use a portable way, using mktime (taken from timegm(3) man)

Attached patches are for:

r264, r273a1, r311, trunk

What i'm missing just now are the tests (test_time.py) and docs update, if you like the patch, i can continue on that.
