How to get the seconds since epoch from the time + date output of gmtime()?

How do you do reverse gmtime(), where you put the time + date and get the number of seconds?

I have strings like 'Jul 9, 2009 @ 20:02:58 UTC', and I want to get back the number of seconds between the epoch and July 9, 2009.

I have tried time.strftime but I don’t know how to use it properly, or if it is the correct command to use.
