Parse an ISO8601 date string and return seconds since the epoch. If islocaltime is true convert using localtime(tm) otherwise use gmtime(tm).

Function time_func(func, *args, **kw)

Run the supplied function and arguments. Return a the elapsed time in seconds and the function's own return value.

Function tm_from_ISO(isodate)
