[AstroPy] Convert GPS time to UTC time

[Aldcroft, Thomas]

How about this with astropy 0.3:

>>> from astropy.time import Time
>>> t_gps = Time(3600.0, format='gps')  # seconds since 1980-01-06 00:00:00
UTC
>>> t_gps.utc.iso
'1980-01-06 01:00:00.000'

This basically creates a Time object with the GPS format representation.
 By default this object is in TAI scale, so you first convert to UTC and
then ask for the ISO format representation.  As I understand GPS is not a
time scale, but a simple difference of time in the TAI scale from the given
epoch.
