Help on built-in function gmtime in module time:

gmtime(...)
     gmtime([seconds]) -> (tm_year, tm_mon, tm_day, tm_hour, tm_min,
                            tm_sec, tm_wday, tm_yday, tm_isdst)

     Convert seconds since the Epoch to a time tuple expressing UTC 
(a.k.a. GMT).  When 'seconds' is not passed in, convert the current time 
instead.

 >>> time.gmtime (0)
(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 1, 0)
