Binding the name "split" to this result is not a good idea, because it
leads to ...
> tdate = map(int,split[0].split('-'))
... the above line being rather difficult to read without exclamations
:-)
> ttime = map(int,split[1].split(':'))
> tcode = (tdate[0], tdate[1], tdate[2], ttime[0], ttime[1], ttime[2])
... and the above causes the same problem.
tcode = ttime + tcode
might be better.

Try this:
def toEpoch(timestamp):
datestr, timestr = str(timestamp).split(' ')
tdate = datestr.split('-')
ttime = timestr.split(':')
tcode = map(int, tdate + ttime)
epoch = timegm(tcode)
return int(epoch)
Note: the last 5 lines can be jammed into one line if you are desperate
:-)
