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

[oric]

oric <python1 at scigrid.net> added the comment:

Please don't name it timegm which is such a stupid name (why not mgemit!).

I knows it comes from history but history had timelocal which has been replaced by mktime (and python has mktime and not timelocal) so please, call it mkgmtime

time.mkgmtime()

I think it would make things more clear.
